Sterling Silver Overlay Butterfly Statement Necklace

This substantial Sterling Silver Butterfly Necklace was created from Sterling sheet metal that I pierced and then skillfully cut out with my jeweler's saw to create the beautiful unique pattern of the intricate wings of one of Spring's most ephemeral creatures. I then delicately formed the subtlety of it's shape and created an overlay piece of two sheets of metal soldered together.  Our homage to the Lepidoptera Order of insects is then naturally oxidized with a Patina and finished with a hand brushed technique: earthy, elegant and exuding an understated sophistication. This Statement Necklace has a 2" wingspan and is 2" long at it's widest point, a weighty, substantial tribute to one of Nature's most delicate and ephemeral creatures. We offer this majestic pendant several ways: Crafted on thin black leather cord with handcrafted Sterling end caps and Clasp and 1.5" adjustable tail Crafted with Sterling Cable Chain, also with adjustable tail, both finished with a sparkly Briole
