This collection consists of seven decorative costume brooches featuring botanical, floral, heart, and feather motifs. Five of the pieces are marked by the maker Butler. The assortment includes a gold-tone openwork five-petal flower brooch with amber-colored central rhinestones and clear rhinestone accents, a maple leaf brooch with translucent variegated brown enamel over a gold-tone base, and a layered mauve enamel flower brooch set with pink rhinestones. Also featured is a gold-tone wheat stalk brooch set with light green and pale yellow marquise-cut crystals, accompanied by a tag identifying it as part of the Three For the Road collection and specifying the use of crystals from Swarovski. The final Butler piece is a matte gold-tone quilted heart brooch accented with lilac square-cut crystals and clear rhinestones. Additionally, the group contains a silver-tone feather brooch set with clear rhinestones and a central purple teardrop crystal, mounted on a retail card printed with Laura, and a rose gold-tone brooch with butterfly and leaf designs set with clear rhinestones and three teardrop faux pearls. All brooches are constructed with horizontal pin-back mechanisms and rotating safety clasps. Dimensions measured against a ruler: approx 1 in to 3.5 in in length/diameter. Condition: The collection is in overall very good condition. Several items appear to be new-old-stock with original retail cards or packaging present. All stones appear intact with no visible losses or damage to the metal or enamel surfaces. Mechanisms are in functional condition.
