Jay Strongwater Puccini Butterfly Figurine Swarovski 14K Gold SDH1928-256
There are objects that sit on a shelf. And then there are objects that OWN THE ROOM.
The Puccini Large Butterfly from Jay Strongwater is unambiguously the second kind. With over 200 hand-set Swarovski® crystals in rose, sapphire and olivine, wings hand-painted in ombre berry and cobalt blue, and a 14K gold finish applied with a jeweller's precision — this is not décor. It is a centrepiece that earns a second look every single time.
Some butterflies flutter. This one commands.
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Jay Strongwater trained as a fine jeweller before turning his eye to decorative objects — and that background is impossible to miss in every piece he creates. Where other designers see a figurine, Strongwater sees a canvas for jeweller-grade precision: hand-set stones, hand-painted enamel, and finishes that belong in a display case, not just on a shelf.
The Puccini butterfly is one of his most celebrated designs. Named with the drama of the opera it evokes, it is carved in metal, finished in radiant 14K gold, and set with a large faceted emerald oval crystal as its centrepiece. Every crystal is placed by hand. Every shade of enamel is applied by a skilled artisan. No two pieces are ever quite the same.
At 5.5 inches wide, this is the large format Puccini — with the presence and weight to match. It arrives in a signature Jay Strongwater gift box with a protective velvet pouch, ready to give or to display from the first moment it is unwrapped.

KEY FEATURES
Over 200 hand-set Swarovski® crystals
Rose, sapphire, and olivine Swarovski® crystals are placed individually by hand — a standard of stone-setting that belongs in fine jewellery. The result is a depth of sparkle that shifts with every change in light and angle.
Hand-painted ombre enamel wings
The wings move from berry to cobalt blue in a hand-painted gradient that no two artisans will produce identically. This is not a printed or machine-applied finish — it is a skilled craft, applied slowly and with care, one piece at a time.
14K gold finish with jeweller's detailing
The entire piece is finished in radiant 14K gold plating, with a large faceted emerald oval crystal as a focal accent. The finish has the warmth and authority of fine jewellery, not decorative metalwork.
Large format — real presence on any surface
At 5.5" wide and 2.5" tall, this is the commanding version of the Puccini. It fills a mantelpiece, anchors a coffee table, and holds its own in any display — without needing anything around it to look complete.
Gift-ready presentation from the moment it arrives
Packed in a signature Jay Strongwater box with a protective velvet pouch, this piece is ready to give exactly as it comes. No extra wrapping, no hunting for a box — just an object that looks and feels like the gift it is.

A NOTE ON AVAILABILITY
Jay Strongwater produces his pieces in limited seasonal quantities — and the Puccini in this colourway is not guaranteed to remain available once current stock sells through. Finding a large-format Puccini in new, unboxed condition with full original packaging is increasingly rare as demand from collectors continues to grow.
If it has caught your eye, it is worth acting on that today.
