A faceted crystal butterfly on a fine gold chain, small enough to stay delicate and cut sharply enough to catch light every time you turn your head. Five colors: Champagne, Honey Amber, Turquoise Blue, Crystal White, and Petal Pink. The butterfly measures 2cm across and 1.5cm tall, with cubic zirconia inlaid down the body. The chain is stainless steel, which is why this one can be an everyday necklace. It does not tarnish and it does not mind water. Details Stainless steel chain 5 colors: Champagne, Honey Amber, Turquoise Blue, Crystal White, Petal Pink Faceted crystal butterfly with cubic zirconia inlaid down the body Butterfly measures 2cm by 1.5cm Adjustable from 17.7 to 19.7 inches, 45cm plus a 5cm extender Weighs 5.4g From the Desert Sol Collection What is the difference between cubic zirconia and rhinestones? A rhinestone is usually glass or acrylic with a reflective foil backing glued behind it. It looks bright when it is new and dulls as the foil clouds or the glue yellows. Cubic zirconia is a hard crystalline stone that is cut and set rather than backed and glued, so light travels through it and comes back rather than bouncing off a mirror behind it. It stays brighter for far longer. It is a small difference on paper and an obvious one after a year. Where will this necklace sit? At 17.7 to 19.7 inches it sits lower than a standard 16 inch chain, resting at the collarbone on the short setting and just onto the chest on the long one. That length is the easy one for layering, because it drops below a shorter chain instead of tangling with it. It also works with a higher neckline, where a 16 inch chain would disappear into the collar. Everflight or Ember? Both are crystal butterflies at the same size on an adjustable chain. The difference is underneath. The Everflight has a stainless steel chain, so it does not tarnish and can be worn in water. The Ember Butterfly Necklace has a copper chain, comes in four different colors including an iridescent one, and is $24.99. If you want the one you never take off, this is it.
