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:

1. Crafted on thin black leather cord with handcrafted Sterling end caps and Clasp and 1.5" adjustable tail
   
2. Crafted with Sterling Cable Chain, also with adjustable tail, both finished with a sparkly Briolette Bead.
   
3. Crafted on cable chain with Beads near the Butterfly.
4. Choose our Own made Hook and Eye Clasp or a Lobster Claw Style clasp

All of these options are 17 " adjustable to 18.5".

"I am a native New Yorker, and graduate of Parsons School of Design, where I learned the ancient skills of Metalsmithing and studied Jewelry History. I fabricate our designs in metal, from drawings and sketches of our observations of the world we are walking in. Transposing transient creatures in Sterling, gives us great pleasure. I hope our work nurtures a bond with our shared environment."--- Teresa de la Guardia, designer, T and Brie.
