Jade-colored Monarch chrysalis replica, art glass and 24k gold
ATTENTION 8/11/25: For a very short time, the turn-around has been extended to allow me a little getaway with the family! Please expect your piece to take at least a week to ship. Thank you so much! Glass Monarch chrysalis pendant with 24k gold dots, 20" 14k gold-filled chain with giftbox. I've been studying the Monarch chrysalis for over 20 years. It's been an awe-inspiring challenge to try to recreate what nature does so beautifully. I make each glass chrysalis one at a time in the flame of a torch, adding pure 24k gold while it's still semi-molten. I use a caliper so each piece measures out at no more than 1" and no less than 15/16", for that is how they measure when I raise them every summer. All pieces are kiln annealed and set on a 18" 14k gold-fill bail and chain. A large number of my customers like to compare their necklaces to a real chrysalis, holding them up to the Monarchs they so carefully raise and release. With such high expectations, it's very important to me to meet or
