Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant Necklace

Our Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant Necklace celebrates the beauty of butterflies with an intricate sterling silver design inspired by a resting monarch. With its graceful, swept-back wings and delicate cut-out details, this distinctive pendant makes a lovely statement while retaining a sense of lightness and simplicity.

The butterfly is made in bright, shiny sterling silver, with intricate openings cut through the metal to recreate the beautiful patterns found on a monarch butterfly's wings. The delicate fretwork allows light to pass through the design, highlighting the contrast between the silver and the open spaces.

At approximately 3.5cm wide, the butterfly is a substantial pendant, but its openwork construction gives it an airy, delicate appearance. Suspended from a fine sterling silver chain, it's an eye-catching piece that's easy to wear with everything from casual everyday outfits to something a little more dressed up.

A new butterfly design for our 30th anniversary

Butterflies have been a recurring inspiration in Simone's jewellery designs throughout her career. Over the decades, she's created everything from tiny, simple butterfly outlines to large and intricately hand-sawn silver pendants.

One of her most popular designs for almost 20 years has been a series of butterfly wing pendants and earrings, featuring delicate patterns cut through individual silver wings.

For our 30th Anniversary Jewellery Range, Simone wanted to revisit this long-standing fascination with butterflies while creating something entirely new.

Rather than focusing on a single wing, she designed a complete monarch butterfly in a resting pose, with its wings swept back in an elegant, gently curved shape. The intricate wing markings have been translated into delicate openings cut through sterling silver, creating a fresh interpretation of a favourite subject.

This simple silver pendant allows the butterfly design to take centre stage, celebrating both the beauty of nature and three decades of jewellery making experience.

Styling your silver butterfly necklace

This distinctive butterfly pendant is a beautiful way to add a little personality to an outfit. The bright sterling silver catches the light, while the intricate cut-out details create an eye-catching pattern that stands out beautifully against clothing.

Wear it with a simple top or dress to let the butterfly take centre stage, or layer it with other delicate silver necklaces for a more individual look. The generous size of the pendant gives it plenty of presence, while the fine chain keeps the overall design light and elegant.

The pendant hangs from a delicate sterling silver chain with a secure clasp and an adjustable extension chain, allowing you to vary the length from approximately 45cm to 55cm. For additional length, you can add our silver chain extender.

For a striking coordinated look, pair this necklace with our Monarch Butterfly Silver Hoop Earrings. The matching butterfly designs create a wonderfully bold combination for anyone who loves jewellery that makes a statement.

If you love the butterfly design but would prefer a little colour, explore our Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant Necklace with Rubies, featuring a playful cluster of natural ruby gemstones in rich reds and pinks.

For an even more colourful interpretation, take a look at our Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant on Fluorite Beaded Necklace, which pairs the butterfly with a beautiful strand of rainbow fluorite gemstones in soft greens, blues, purples and whites.

Most of our necklaces are adjustable. We typically use a standard (princess) length of 45cm (18"), with an additional 10cm extender chain, which allows adjustment up to matinee length (55cm / 22"). These are the most popular and versatile necklace lengths.

Some of our designs have different lengths, and a few are non-adjustable. Be sure to check the product details and sizes & materials section for the specific measurements of this necklace.

Use our necklace length chart to see where different lengths will sit on the body. However, everyone is different, so we recommend measuring an existing necklace or using a piece of string to find your ideal fit.
