This natural beauty was hand-beaded using hundreds of tiny glass Delica beads for the wings.
The body is a Chartreuse Chalcedony oval accented with a gold Swarovski Austrian Crystal.
The necklace is a delightful strand of hand-knotted, verdant green Jade beads.

Finished off with a gold filigree box clasp.

wingspan: 5 inches

height: 3 inches

necklace: 17 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 Queen Alexandra's Birdwing 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
