Real Butterfly Wing Glass and Sterling Silver Locket Pendant

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:02:44 -0700

The butterfly is a powerful symbol for transformation. The Chinese believed the butterfly suggested a wedding of souls, making it an appropriate gift for the bride and groom.

Magnificent cethosia biblis festiva butterfly wings are very carefully set under glass. The rich colors and beautiful pattern is magnified by the glass...creating an exciting and eyecatching effect. It is sure to be a conversation piece!

Sterling silver and antiqued glass two sided locket features a swiveling bail, so you can see the contents from either side. Teardrop shape measures: 28 x 21mm. .925 stamped sterling silver. This design is not waterproof. Please note that the pendant can be opened if you turn the screw top. That way you can change the pendant at a later date (if you wish) to add something new like a photo or trinket (interior of locket is only wide enough for flat items). Purchase includes pendant only. Due to a change in Etsy policy, I am no longer able to list necklace chains separately. However, I have a nice selection of sterling silver chains in various styles and lengths. Please contact me via the Etsy conversation feature and let me know if you are interested.

Please note that no butterflies were ever harmed to make this special pendant! The wings are gathered from butterflies that have lived out their natural lifespan.

Not all glass is created equally... as a buyer it is imperative that you buy your glass pieces from an experienced glass artist. It is important to know how to combine the glass properly (you cannot mix different co-efficient glass) and that the glass is properly annealed (for strength and durability). I only use a special epoxy for glass and metal which is carefully cured. I also score up the surfaces so that they adhere better. I always stand by my work. I have been doing this for a long time and I am not going anywhere. The confidence and satisfaction of my customers means everything to me.

Cobalt Blue Fine Silver PMC Dichroic Glass Pendant

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:05:32 -0800

Each glass "gemstone" is made by individually cutting and fusing dichroic glass in my kiln several times till the desired effect and strength is achieved. I carefully work silver PMC around the finished glass. It is then returned to the kiln, sanded, finished, polished, and buffed. The end result is that the vibrant glass "stone" is beautifully framed by fine silver.

Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is an incredible material invented by the Japanese. The principal ingredient in PMC is microscopic particles of silver along with water and an organic binder. The clay is molded and shaped, then it is fired in a kiln where both the water and binder burn away and the metal fuses to form pure solid silver 99.9% pure (for comparison, Sterling is only 92.5% pure).

Measures: 2" (including bail) x 11/16". The price is for the pendant only. Necklace chains sold separately. Comes beautifully displayed in a pretty jewelry gift box.
