Reviews for Shirley’s Gold Butterfly Necklace

Superb!
Thank you so very much for the beautiful necklaces. I thought the blue one would be the prettiest because I like blue, with Roberta’s coloring the gold one is superb. Thank you for making my wife happy… you made a happy point in our day!

Grace… gold swallowtail butterfly necklace
Artist Shirley Matteson designs and
creates handcrafted, fine silver jewelry. Here, she has created Grace, a gorgeous gold swallowtail butterfly necklace, set in fine silver, and inlayed with 24K gold that is breathtaking.
Taking inspiration from butterflies of all colors, Shirley has created a gorgeous, gold swallowtail butterfly necklace named ‘Grace’. Black enamel edging highlights the 24K inlay and the tiny gold wires used in the Cloissoné jewlery making process. The result is a luminous butterfly jewel that’s sure to amaze.
The Artist’s Technique:
Shirley uses a technique called ‘Cloissoné,’ to create her sparkling butterflies. First, she inlays 24K gold into the swallowtail butterfly shape, then bends tiny wires to form the butterfly wings structural lines. Then, she fills in the shapes with a black edge and body and the remainder with transparent enamel. In the end, what emerges is a truly unique piece of wearable art that will stand out and get noticed.
The Gold Swallowtail Butterfly Jewel:
Of course, Shirley’s butterfly jewelry comes with a rosewood box, storage pouch, and sterling silver chain. In addition, be sure to let her know at checkout if you prefer a 16-inch or 18-inch chain. Naturally, when you’re not showing off your fabulous gold butterfly necklace, keep her in her silvercloth pouch so she won’t get tarnished.
Or, if you love the gold butterflly design, but are looking for something smaller and more dainty, check out Shirley’s smaller gold butterfly necklace, ‘Mini.’
Also, if you prefer, Shirley’s butterfly necklaces can also be made entirely in 22k gold. Please contact her for details and pricing.
