14k Gold Butterfly Necklace

Description

14k gold butterfly necklace with Gorgonian coral inlaid with turquoise, lapis, and sugilite.  The coral reminded Jesse of brown, leafless branches expecting springtime, so he placed on it a golden butterfly amid turquoise buds of new life adn capped each piece in gold.  Dolphins dance on waves and turtles and frogs hide among the branches.  Featured on page 108 of the book, Jesse Monongya Opal Bears and Lapis Skies by Lois Dubin.  Measures 31".  Butterfly is a removable pin and measures 1 1/4" x 1 1/8".
