Leopard Lacewing Reversible Necklace

Product Description

The underside of the Leopard Lacewing Butterfly is one of the most ornate in the butterfly world. The intricate “lace” patterns on the wings are likely to have given this species its common name, Lacewing. Made from Sterling silver and glass, this necklace was designed to feature the delicate beauty of this real butterfly wing. Graceful and charming, this necklace makes for the perfect gift, particularly for those interested in unique finds, biology and science. Also available as a single sided butterfly pendant.

The butterfly wing is secured in a sterling silver and glass pendant that is reversible because it hangs from a pivoting bail. The domed glass on the front and back protects the wing and displays its amazing beauty. See a butterfly in my shop that you want made into jewelry, just ask!

Butterflies are symbols of transformation, growth, renewal, souls and spirits.

REVERSIBLE:

*PLEASE NOTE: Since butterfly wings are a natural material colors and patterns may vary slightly.

MEASUREMENTS:

CARE AND CLEANING:
Sterling silver and glass can be polished with soft cloth. Pendants are water resistant but NOT waterproof. Please remove before showering or swimming.

SAFE ORIGIN:
I have a Master’s degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insects and care deeply about the environment and sustainability of my products. A majority of my specimens I use are raised on butterfly farms around the world and are NOT collected from the wild.  These farms raise butterflies for live flying butterfly exhibits, museums and collectors.  These farms can work as an important conservation tool by giving underprivileged populations a source of income and reason to protect rainforest habitat (where most butterflies are raised).
