This real butterfly wing necklace features a morpho thamyris wing that has an amazing orange and black colors. It has been encased in resin to create this beautiful necklace. Pendant measures is approximately 3 cm high and 2.5 cm wide.

Please note that because the butterfly wing did once belong to a living butterfly, there may be slight markings or small tears. These should not be considered flaws as they are natural and proof that the wing once belonged to a flying butterfly. In saying that, I do carefully select the wings I use and make sure they are aesthetically pleasing.

I encase each wing in resin, because I do this by hand small bubbles can sometimes occur. Rather than looking at this as a fault, consider it part of the handmade charm.

Pendant hangs on your choice of an 18" or 24" stainless steel chain.
