Handmade Beadwoven Butterfly Necklace

This is a really unusual piece made from tiny Japanese glass beads called Delicas, they are very uniform in shape which creates a lovely, almost fabric like, texture. The butterfly is around the size of a hand, so a real statement piece.  It is teamed with Rose Quartz beads and Czech Crystal beads.   There is a small wire antenna which looked good for the original photo shoot, but I am not sure how well it will stay up when wearing it - it is easily removed if required, just a wire snip and pull through the bead.

It measures around 5" / 13cm across the butterfly, and around 21" / 54cm long. It fastens with a black plated loop and eye clasp.  A really eye-catching piece of jewellery.

This piece took many many hours to make, so it deserves to be worn and shown  :)

Materials: Semi-Precious Stone Beads / Czech Crystal / Japanese Glass Beads / Nylon Thread / Tigertail Wire / Plated Metal Clasp 

I used to own a bead shop and write tutorials for beading magazines, I have recently discovered a box of my samples for these tutorials and I am now offering them up for sale.

Samples are a few years old but unworn and in great condition as they have been stored carefully.  Prices include UK p&p.
