Open Pave Butterfly Stud Earrings In Silver
Wings are drawn as outlines on these butterfly stud earrings, traced in small stones with the centres left completely hollow. Plain silver veins span each opening, so the wing reads as a frame with lines across it. The result is an earring that covers a good area while using very little material.

Key Features
- Wing outlines are traced in small stones, with nothing at all filling the space inside them.
- Plain silver veins cross each hollow wing, suggesting the structure of a real butterfly wing.
- Leaving the wings open makes a wide earring look light rather than solid on the lobe.
- Cast in 925 sterling silver, with the outlines set before the veins are soldered across.
- The butterfly sits flat against the ear with nothing hanging below to catch or swing.
Styling Suggestions
An outlined butterfly reads as delicate rather than decorative, which makes it easy to wear on ordinary days. It suits college, work and casual dressing equally. Wear them with hair down, since the open wings still show clearly against skin.
FAQs
Why are the wings left hollow?
Filling them would make the earring solid and considerably heavier for the same size. Outlining the wing instead gives the shape at a fraction of the mass, and letting skin show through those openings is what keeps the butterfly looking delicate.
How does this compare to the filigree butterfly?
Both leave part of the wing open, but that one fills the upper wings with stones and uses open scrollwork below. This version outlines all four wings equally, so it reads as more graphic and less ornamental than the filigree pair.
Do the open wings catch on things?
The veins close off most of the gaps, so hair and fabric rarely pass through. Fine knitwear is the one thing worth easing over carefully, as it is with any earring that has openings in it rather than a solid surface.
Are butterfly earrings only for younger wearers?
Not at all. A butterfly drawn as an outline in small stones reads as a shape rather than a motif, which is why this version sits comfortably on anyone. The coloured enamel butterflies are the ones that read as more youthful.
