About this product
What you'll notice
- The pendant catches light across its delicate leaf veins, every one unique to the leaf that was pressed and plated.
- The faceted obsidian beads show a smooth, glassy lustre, while the larger tumbled chips add weight and texture along the strand.
- It sits just below the collarbone, visible but not heavy, and layers well with plainer chains.
- The black and silver palette suits most colours and necklines, day or evening.
Obsidian and silver-plated leaf
The beads are black obsidian, a natural volcanic glass formed when lava cools too quickly for crystals to grow. It has been valued across cultures for its sharp fracture and mirror-like surface, used in ancient blades and ceremonial mirrors. The stone is hard but brittle, so the faceting shows cleanly. The butterfly pendant is made by pressing a real leaf, coating it in silver plate to hold the structure, and shaping it into wings. Because it starts as a living leaf, no two pendants share the same vein pattern.
The butterfly as symbol
The butterfly has long been associated with transformation and renewal, appearing in Greek mythology as the soul (psyche), in Japanese tradition as a sign of joy and longevity, and in many spiritual practices as a gentle reminder of cycles and change. Wearing it is often a personal marker of transition or intention, a quiet symbol over the heart.
How to wear and care for it
Obsidian is a glass, so it can chip if knocked against hard surfaces. Keep it away from perfume and moisture, as both can dull the silver plating over time. Wipe the beads and pendant with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, and store it flat or hung to prevent tangling.
What comes with it
The necklace is ready to wear, complete with beaded strand, pendant and clasp. The leaf detail varies slightly from piece to piece, reflecting the natural structure of the original plant.
A considered gift
It suits someone drawn to natural motifs and darker, more grounded tones. The combination of geological stone and botanical form makes it a thoughtful piece for marking a change, a birthday, or simply as a personal talisman.
