An artistically rendered specimen.
The Natal Barred Blue Butterfly looks stunning perched about your collarbones.

This natural beauty was hand-beaded using hundreds of tiny glass Delica beads for the wings.
The body is comprised of an ethereal Blue Chalcedony rounded nugget & round bead.
The necklace: a sparkly parade of micro-faceted Pyrite. 'Tis finished off with a vintage-look, gold clasp.

wingspan: 3 1/4 inches
height: 3 inches
necklace: 16 inches

She arrives beautifully presented in her own "Riker Mount" (scientific display case) with her Latin name and origin handwritten inside. The "common" name is written on the back of the case along with a listing of stones and other elements used in her creation. These pieces are signed by the artist.

You can attach a picture hook to the back of the case and display the Natal Barred Blue Butterfly as an art/ scientific specimen as a lovely alternative to hiding her away in your jewelry box!

 ps Butterflies and Moths bring us so much beauty and they are wonderful pollinators during their short and fragile life-spans.  With this hand-crafted artistic specimen, you can enjoy that beauty and rejoice in the knowledge that not a single wing was harmed in its creation xo
