Description

Let this Dichroic glass butterfly necklace serve as a reminder to keep fighting to be the most vibrant version of yourself. The butterfly is only beautiful because the caterpillar is brave! I've electroformed these green dichroic glass pieces into a sweet butterfly frame with healing copper forever. Do you see how the copper formed a little butterfly in the center, too?? That was not intentional & could never be done again on purpose. This necklace appears to almost glow while on, the dichroic glass is so colorful. I consider this copper necklace the epitome of boho & hippie style. This piece is ready to ship, so let me help you spoil someone you love! This specialty glass was made by fusing layers of colored glass together. Jewelry is sturdy but always be gentle with your jewelry to preserve it & don't let the glass bang up against surfaces. Keep dry. I purchased these cabochons from another artist to use for my jewelry; I feel blessed to have been able to snag them! A gunmetal patina copper plated chain (nickel free base) has been added. The chain measures approx. 18.5 but is a little hard to measure due to how I chained the pendant. This length includes a lobster clasp for easy & secure closure. I only use durable material that looks & feels good. How did I create this handmade jewelry? I electroformed my elements in copper using a little bit of electricity & a lot of magic. So many hours & steps go into every piece. It's truly a labor of love :) Once my items are properly prepped, they hang in an electrolyte tank, connected to an electric current & copper for 17-36 hours. The copper fuses molecule by molecule, creating strength & unique texture for my adornments. Each time I electroform, the copper forms 100% uniquely. It's science & jewelry design at its best! Electroforming is an ancient technique. Please follow me on Instagram to see my processes & new jewelry! https://www.instagram.com/CrystalJewelryAffair When you wear this necklace, you don't have to worry about anyone else wearing the same thing, it is one of a kind! Once electroformed, I rapidly oxidized the copper to pull out rich brown tones in the metal. I've seen many colors form on top of the copper during this process. Copper is then sealed with a thin layer of jewelry lacquer to give it a slight barrier from moisture & to help seal in the patina after my processes are finished. This lacquer will wear off seamlessly as you wear your jewelry. Copper is known for reacting to its environment & changing color. This protects it from rusting. It may lighten or darken with time. Keep it dry & do not wear in shower to avoid extra oxidization. Chains may be plated & could rust if left wet. Embrace the color changing effects of copper as you take it on life's adventures with you. Small polishing pad will be included for any future cleaning needs. This lightens the metal. All my crystals have been cleansed in moonlight & charged in sunlight. I believe crystals are tools that help bring
