If you like things that are bright and shiney new this necklace is not for you. This is a vintage pendant. Hand painted porcelain butterfly is absolutely gorgeous. However, it is truly vintage, therefore it is not perfect. The details are exquisite. Butterflies symbolize transformation and metamorphosis.
I've hand wire wrapped wonderful natural blood red Carnelian with gold jewelers wire to form the chain. To accent the pendant, I've clustered a generous mix of gems that pick up the rich colors of the butterfly. A one of a kind handcrafted necklace that is an exquisite piece of jewelry.
Note: I love vintage things and often incorporate them into my work. This butterfly pendant is one of a very few that I've been hoarding for years. I purchased them, along with some others, many years ago and have never seen anything like them since. When they're gone, they're gone.
