Black Grey and White Magnetic Butterfly Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel

A graphic butterfly brooch in black, grey and white

The Black Grey and White Magnetic Butterfly Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel creates a broad graphic focal point on a coat, jacket or scarf. We measured the piece directly: it is exactly 6.5 cm wide. This verified width makes it easier to plan a position without relying on an image of the brooch being worn. Compare other outlines in our butterfly brooch collection.

Allow enough room around the open wings

Mark a 6.5 cm line on a piece of card and place it against the intended lapel, collar or textile bag panel. The upper wings determine the maximum width, while the lower wings form a shorter outline beneath the centre. Check that buttons, zips and edges will not push against either side.

Three positions worth comparing

• a broad lapel with clearance around nearby buttons;
• a settled section of scarf after testing the exact point;
• a flat bag panel that can be reached easily from behind.

How this graphic butterfly holds without a pin

A fixed round magnet sits at the centre of the butterfly's reverse. It works with a separate round plate that has a broad ring of perforations around its central disc. Position the motif on the visible side, then bring the plate towards it from behind. These powerful magnets were tested on several materials, including wool and 5 mm faux leather. A seam, fold, curve, multiple layers or movement can change local stability.

Check again while making normal movements

• choose an area that is accessible from both sides;
• bring the butterfly and rear plate together gradually;
• move as usual, then recheck the orientation and hold.

Other shapes using this principle can be found among our magnetic fastening brooches.

Pair black, grey and white with understated colours

The brooch is made from silver-coloured steel. The model is recognisable at a glance: four symmetrical open wings contain curved black, grey and slightly blue-toned white panels separated by silver-coloured lines; a narrow body runs down the centre and two arched antennae each end in a small pierced disc.

Black gives a restrained combination, grey makes the effect more tonal and cream creates stronger contrast with the dark panels. Navy can echo the cool white areas. Try more than one height in the mirror and assess the result from ordinary viewing distance. Related finishes are grouped with our silver-coloured brooches.

Features of this graphic butterfly brooch

The measured width covers both fully spread upper wings. On a narrow support, allow a little extra clearance around their tips and the lower wings so the full outline remains visible and no neighbouring fastening presses against the steel structure.

A carefully packed butterfly brooch ready to give

This model may suit someone who enjoys butterflies, graphic accessories or black, grey and white combinations. Depending on the person and cultural context, a butterfly may suggest transformation, change or lightness; that remains an optional personal association. Every brooch is carefully packed so that it can be given easily for a birthday, a thank-you or another personal occasion.

Handle the brooch by a stable part of its structure rather than the wing tips or antennae. Remove dust using a clean, soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water, perfume, cosmetics, household products and abrasive surfaces.

Keep both magnetic pieces together

• inspect the wings, antennae and central body after wearing;
• clean the front and reverse without immersing the brooch;
• store both parts dry, away from cards, watches and magnet-sensitive devices.
