Beaded Butterfly Necklace of Wood and Pearls

Beaded Butterfly Necklace of Wood and Pearls
Butterflies and dragonflies both represent a change in one's life. Sometimes graceful, sometimes not, but change is important either way. It breathes fresh air into stale spaces and brings about new ideas and inspirations.

This beaded butterfly necklace is created with that theme in mind. Made with a handful of creamy pearls and wooden beads brought together on a strand of matching seed beads to accent the 2-inch circular pendant that dangles front and center. The pendant is made of wood and stained a rich brown color (also available in black) with a beautiful butterfly inlay set off-center on its surface in brushed silver tones.

The lobster claw clasp at the nape of this handmade necklace attaches to an extender chain that allows the length of this necklace to be adjustable between 17" - 19.25" (43 cm - 49 cm). This means it can be worn tight enough to be a choker or loose enough to lie comfortably against the chest while a small bead bauble at the end of the chain gives an extra bit of decorative touch at the nape.
