Does anyone know anything about tie clasps made with the background being a blue morpho butterfly wing and then a tropical scene painted in front of it? What time period did they come out? I have a few but know little about them.

Thanks fedoralover

I was sure someone here would have seen them. Art, Matt, James, surely you have seen these jewels? The illuminesence of the blue butterfly wing in the background really makes these clips unique. I do know they are someone rare as they are even scarce on ebay.
