Gold Butterfly on Purple Enamel Lapel Pin

This is a circular lapel pin or medallion featuring a stylized gold-tone butterfly centerpiece set against a vibrant purple enamel background. The butterfly is rendered in a raised (bas-relief) metallic finish, likely brass or gold-plated zinc alloy, showing fine engraved details that define the wing patterns, antennae, and body segmentation. The construction follows a typical 'soft enamel' or 'hard enamel' process where the metal walls create a recessed area for the colored resin. The purple enamel is a deep violet hue with a smooth, glossy finish that contrasts sharply with the gold metallic elements. The item is bordered by a thin, polished gold-tone rim that encapsulates the enamel field. This style of pin is commonly used as a commemorative token, awareness symbol (frequently for lupus or fibromyalgia), or organizational insignia. Based on the clean lines and uniform color application, it appears to be a contemporary mass-produced item of modern manufacture (late 20th to 21st century). The condition appears excellent with no visible scuffing to the enamel, oxidation on the metal, or chipping. The craftsmanship shows high-quality die-striking, resulting in sharp, clear edges on the butterfly silhouette.
