This necklace is made to order, so please allow up to 2 weeks for completion. Each piece is handcrafted and assembled in the USA (by me!) using traditional silversmithing techniques. I antique and polish every pendant and necklace by hand to enhance the details and restore the copper’s warm glow, creating a rich contrast that highlights the etched design.

Pendant height (from top of bail to base of insect pendant) is 15/16" (2.4 cm)
Pendant width (at base of pendant) is 5/8" (1.7 cm)

This necklace features a clearwing hummingbird sphinx moth -- this diurnal moth is a gift to all gardeners for it's pollinating abilities and is often mistaken for a tiny hummingbird partly due to it's habit of hovering above flowers.

After preparing the art for this design, I use an acid bath to etch the artwork deep into the copper plate. The copper plates and other sterling silver components are then fully assembled and the pieces are polished, hand patinated, then polished again to reveal that gorgeous, bright copper glow.
