This mantis necklace is made-to-order, so please allow 1-2 weeks to have one made just for you.

The completed necklace will be polished, hand patinated for an "antiqued" finish, then re-polished again.

Necklace chain shown on model is 18" long, oxidized and finished with a secure and easy "fish hook" style clasp. Necklace can also be ordered with a curb chain and lobster style clasp. See additional photos for clasp details.

Praying mantises are probably the most recognizable among the Mantodea, one of the most beautiful and fascinating of the insect orders. Unfortunately made infamous by their penchant for cannibalism, they are fearless, curious, exquisite & wondrous creatures.
