An ephemeral glass butterfly button dangles at the end of this necklace ready to launch into flight. Luckily it's anchored by a one-of-a-kind antique button linked and a vintage tourmaline mirror opal glass doublet.
The butterflies were hand-pressed in antique molds by one of the few remaining Czech glass button artisans still using centuries-old manufacturing processes.

Every antique button is a one and only, chosen just for you, and so will not be identical to the image.
This necklace features a sliding clasp that enables you to adjust its length to suit any neckline. You can wear it as a choker, as a long pendant, or anywhere in between.
