Real butterfly wing necklace. One of the largest butterflies in the world, with exquisite markings in black, clear and subtle gold tones. Though, there's nothing subtle about this statement necklace that goes by many names. Whether you call it the Common Green birdwing, Cape York birdwing, Priam's birdwing, Northern birdwing, or New Guinea birdwing butterfly, it's just as sweet. Carefully preserved female Ornithoptera priamus. Italian made Diamond Figaro chain with 20% 14K gold annealed over sterling silver. Spring Ring clasp. 18" necklace length.
The wing has been preserved through an intricate process leaving it waterproof and similar in wear and care to eyeglass lenses, while retaining the delicate edges through meticulous artist skill.
All wings are ethically sourced from and for conservation.
