9CT YELLOW MEDIUM BUTTERFLIES (PAIR)

Let's spare a moment for the unsung heroes of the jewellery box.

Not the Diamonds.

Not the Gold.

Not even the earrings themselves.

I'm talking about butterfly backs—those tiny little miracles standing between your favourite earrings and a dramatic disappearance down the plughole, into the carpet, or somewhere in the mysterious dimension where hair grips and odd socks also seem to end up (under the chest of drawers in my house).

If you've ever uttered the immortal words, "I'm sure it was here a second ago...", these are for you.

Crafted from 100% Recycled 9ct Yellow Gold, these beautifully made replacement butterfly backs are designed to keep your stud earrings exactly where they belong—on your ears rather than starring in their own episode of Britain's Lost Jewellery.

Their classic rounded design features softly petalled edges and twin scrolled sections, creating the traditional butterfly shape trusted by jewellers for generations. The friction-fit mechanism provides a secure, comfortable hold, sliding smoothly onto most standard earring posts with an internal hole diameter of approximately 0.80mm.

Supplied as a pair, each scroll measures approximately 3.8mm high by 5.2mm wide, making them an ideal medium-sized replacement for many fine jewellery stud earrings.

Sometimes it's the smallest pieces that quietly do the biggest job.

Why Recycled Gold?

One of my favourite things about these butterfly backs—apart from preventing expensive heartbreak—is that they're crafted from 100% Recycled 9ct Yellow Gold.

That means no newly mined Gold was needed to create them. Existing precious metals have been carefully refined and transformed into brand-new jewellery components with the same beauty, strength and quality as newly mined Gold.

It's proof that luxury and sustainability can sit quite happily together.

Because looking fabulous shouldn't cost the Earth.

A Little Tip From Someone Who's Seen It All…

Butterfly backs naturally loosen a little over many years of wear. It's completely normal.

If your earrings no longer feel as secure as they once did, replacing worn scrolls is one of the simplest—and least expensive—ways to protect jewellery that may be worth hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

Think of them as tiny insurance policies made from Gold.

Rather sensible, really.

Yes, darlings, I dispatch as soon as my little hands can package your treasure — but remember, I'm a boutique, not Bezos. If I have your piece to hand, it will be dispatched the same day, but the vast majority comes to me first from my wondrous Silver and Goldsmiths on order.
