Unique Piece n°40 - Butterfly brooch

Original designer jewelry crafted by hand

In the Ciléa family workshop in Rennes, each creation comes to life through the precision and imagination of the artisans. Our jewelry is conceived as works of art in their own right, where the material is sculpted and transformed with patience. This butterfly brooch was born from this meticulous work : each wing is manually drawn, cut, and assembled to create a harmonious composition. This artisanal process gives our butterfly brooch a unique identity, impossible to replicate identically.

The excellence of an artisanal heritage

The Ciléa house is distinguished by the Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant label, a recognition that honors French workshops perpetuating rare expertise. This distinction testifies to our commitment to preserving craftsmanship and transmitting its techniques through its creations. Wearing one of our Ciléa jewels, like this butterfly brooch n°40, means choosing a piece born from authentic work and a lasting artistic tradition.

Subtle and expressive colors

The hues of this butterfly brooch are developed from pigments secretly prepared in the workshop. The subtle gradient from light green to forest green contrasts flamboyantly with touches of passionate red, while the lepidopteran's body, enhanced with golden details, adds the final touch of light. This chromatic approach brings to life original designer jewelry distinguished by its material effects and strong visual character.

Émaline, the House's signature

The lightness and brilliance of this creation come from Émaline, an exclusive resin developed by Ciléa. Worked entirely by hand, it allows for luminous surfaces and precise reliefs that give an airy movement to our butterfly brooch. This material gives unique piece n°40 lasting solidity while maintaining the finesse, lightness, and sparkle characteristic of our original designer jewelry.

The Ciléa association : the signature look

To enhance this spectacular butterfly brooch, create a harmonious composition by pairing it with other Ciléa Paris treasures:

• The anemone ring (red or gold) : A bold echo of the contrasting color of the gradient or the golden details of the butterfly's body, for a resolutely couture total Ciléa look.

Wear this butterfly brooch on the lapel of a dark winter coat, a velvet jacket, or even attached to a hat to assert your unique style.

This butterfly brooch was born from research into the contrast between elegance and audacity. The designers in the workshop envisioned the soft lines of a large butterfly with outstretched wings, inspired by the rich colors of wild nature at dusk. To break the monotony, they married the freshness of green with the strength of red, punctuated with gold at the heart. Initially a simple creative experiment, the composition of this butterfly brooch quickly captivated with its balance and personality. The artisans then decided not to reproduce it, making this creation unique piece n°40, a rare prototype among the House's original designer jewelry.

Tips for preserving your butterfly brooch

• Avoid water and chemicals : Perfumes, creams, or any direct contact can alter the colors, gilded details, and brilliance of your butterfly brooch.
• Store it carefully : Keep your brooch in its case or a soft pouch, away from moisture and direct light.
• Clean it gently : A soft, dry cloth is sufficient to remove dust without damaging the enamel surface.
• Protect it from heat : Keep your jewelry away from intense heat sources to preserve its shine and the delicacy of its details.

Thanks to these simple steps, your unique piece n°40, the butterfly brooch, will retain all its brilliance and exceptional character for a long time.
