A jewelry pin in the shape of a butterfly made by Wallace Chan (Chinese, born in 1956) in the collection of the Museum of Fine Art Boston. Massachusetts, US. The butterfly is about five inches across and the outline is made of metal coated in thin lines of tiny diamond of many colors, though green and blue colors predominate. Under this, real yellow butterfly wings covered in crystal peek through. The central body of the butterfly is made of yellow diamond. One diamond in the lower left wing has caught the light and brilliantly reflects a starburst of light. The whole piece is whimsical and like a fantasy of a real butterfly. The piece is called Forever Dancing-Bright Star Hong Kong, China, 2013 Made from titanium, yellow diamond, fancy-colored diamonds, rock crystal, mother-of-pearl, butterfly specimen, pearl. As a child Wallace Chan saw butterflies as "flying colors." Years later, he used innovative jewelry techniques and new materials to create a series of larger-than-life brooches. Gift of Christin Xing and Rex Wong, 2023 2023.3
