Delicate and graceful, this petite Monarch Butterfly necklace is cast from meticulously hand-pierced sterling silver and finished with a radiant layer of gold plating. Suspended from a fine gold plated chain, the butterfly rests elegantly against the chest, its gently curved wings capturing the beauty and lightness of nature in motion.

Although Monarch butterflies are found around the world, they naturally established themselves in New Zealand, where they’ve become a much-loved part of our landscape. In Māori culture, Monarchs are known as wairua atua—supernatural spirits symbolising transformation, hope, and rebirth.

A timeless tribute to this beloved species, Tania’s design showcases her signature craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each piece is carefully handcrafted to reflect the Monarch’s grace and symbolic meaning.
