Multi Color Sapphire Necklace Tourmaline Butterfly Pendant - Le Papillon XXI Necklace
I am not a fan of insects, save two exceptions - ladybugs and butterflies. A recent visit to the Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale with my family was also the serendipitous inspiration for some new necklace designs. Such stunning colors and elegant wings of fantasy.
Butterflies have been trending for about a year in both fashion and home furnishings and are now filtering down to jewelry. It is predicted that even brides will be smitten with this trend this Spring/Summer. I can only imagine how magnificent a Spring/Summer wedding with a butterfly theme could be! Butterflies are also such a perfect fit to showcase the beauty of so many gorgeous translucent stones.
It was my mission to locate some pretty butterfly pendants and as luck would have it - I was successful at finding a wonderful source at the Tucson Gem Show. I returned with multiple tourmaline butterflies all in varying colors and sizes, plus a ton of ideas for future use.
This remarkable butterfly pendant with variegated teal and pink wings was designed to showcase the beauty of the watermelon tourmaline slices. It has been married to a stunning necklace of hand-linked multi-colored sapphire ovals to repeat some of the colors found in the wings.
Unlike the ethereal and flighty butterflies that hitched a ride on my blouse during our visit to the Butterfly Wonderland - this butterfly will be most happy to go anywhere with you!
25.5 inches long. Butterfly is 1.12 inches wide X .83 inches high.
