Monarch Pendants
News:
The biggest news right now is I'm taking a rare vacation! I will be far, far away from my beloved torch until July 11. There are a few extra chrysalis made in case it's busy, but no worries. I promise no one will be more excited to get back to making new chrysalis than this girl. I am happy to hear from you via email, but please know I'll be a little distracted. Carts will be re-opened July 10 or 11 and I will be happily at your service.
So many chrysalis babies all these years and no glass butterflies. Until now! What took so long? Oh, mainly finding the time, but the difficulty of the antenna added a few extra months. They're darling I hope many of these find happy, loving homes.
I'm right here on the other side of your computer ready to make you a gorgeous piece. Thank you so much!
International carts, except Canada, have been closed due to overseas orders taking a shocking amount of time. If you'd like an override, contact me at juderose22 at gmail.com
For sale are solid glass chrysalis replicas with 24K gold dots, made as real to life as I can muster. The glass part measures between 15/16" and 1" tall. The price includes a 20" gold-fill chain and giftbox. I can assure you my customers are typically thrilled, and they look even better in person!

A lovely customer allowed me to share her glowing review. I hope it help alleviate any worries you may have going forward:

Chrysalis Earrings
Earrings by popular demand for those who never wear necklaces or those who want a pair to match their chrysalis pendant.
Now, I went back and forth for some time on the size for these. Sure, hypothetically one could just take a few of my life-size chrysalis and hang them from their ears. Some have, sometimes one of each version! But the chrysalis are solid glass and have some weight to them.
If you're like me and like an earring you can't feel, then you want this pair. Now, smaller isn't necessarily easier to make. In fact, most days I feel these tiny little devils are tougher, but I suffer so you don't have to. You'll see from the images below the earrings are a miniature version of the Monarch chrysalis you know and love. They are made of solid artisan glass and 24k gold and hang from a 14k high-quality gold-filled French wire. The glass itself measures 3/4"x 5/16". All earrings come with back rubber safeties and a gift box. Posts are available upon request, but I don't keep many in stock, so I may need more lead time. $150.00. Enjoy. Click to embiggen
Earring set $150.00
But Jude, I wear silver.
I hear you. And came up with a solution. I found this beautiful silver leaf bail, put a nice, dark patina on it, then added a leather cord to create an elegant, contemporary look. The leaf bail is soldered shut around the chrysalis and is quite permanent, so please make your choice between the leather or the gold-filled chain wisely. One cannot just swap one necklace out for another if they change their mind. Please note there's a small price increase to somewhat account for the extra labor.
