Black Obsidian Butterflies Necklace with Bronze Beads. One-of-a-Kind, Handmade

Product Description

When I saw, in mid-winter, these hand-carved butterflies, I had to have them. Because they are handmade, each is slightly different and has minor “imperfections.” <br> While I first wanted to make a colorful necklace befitting spring, I changed my mind and then decided to make a monochromatic, more sophisticated design. To achieve that, I used mostly black beads but with different textures.

For the chain, I used 6 mm. black lava beads and shiny Miyuki glass tubes from Japan in-between the non-shiny obsidian butterflies. For interest, I added bronze, textured glass beads as well as bronze seed beads.

The necklace is 19 ½” long and ends with a complementary, half-inch square, ornate, bronze toggle.

Each butterfly is approximately 35 mm. x 25 mm.  (1 ½” x 1”)

The necklace will arrive in an attractive jewelry box, ready for a gift.
