Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant Necklace with Rubies

Our Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant Necklace with Rubies brings together intricate silver jewellery design and the rich colours of natural gemstones. Inspired by a resting monarch butterfly, the sterling silver pendant has gently curved wings with delicate markings cut through the metal, creating an intricate openwork pattern.

The butterfly is polished to a bright, shiny finish that highlights the detailed wing patterns. Although the pendant is generously sized, its openwork design gives it a sense of lightness and delicacy.

Above the butterfly hangs a playful cluster of five natural ruby gemstone beads, ranging from deep reds and rich pinks to softer, pale pink tones. The small facetted beads vary slightly in size and shape, giving each necklace its own individual character. Suspended from sterling silver pins, the gemstones move independently and catch the light as you wear the necklace.

The combination of intricate silverwork and colourful, moving gemstones makes this an unusual statement necklace with plenty of personality.

A new butterfly design celebrating 30 years

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, intricately hand-sawn silver pendants.

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

When creating our 30th Anniversary Jewellery Range, Simone wanted to revisit this long-standing fascination with butterflies while exploring a new approach. Rather than focusing on a single wing, she designed a complete monarch butterfly in its resting pose, translating the delicate wing markings into intricate openings cut through sterling silver.

The addition of natural ruby gemstones brings colour and movement to this new interpretation of a favourite subject, connecting decades of design inspiration with a fresh idea.

Styling your butterfly and ruby necklace

This butterfly necklace makes an eye-catching focal point for an outfit. Wear it against a simple neckline to show off the intricate silver wings, or choose clothing in complementary colours to bring out the reds and pinks of the ruby beads. The fine silver chain balances the substantial pendant, making it an elegant choice for both dressy casual and special occasions.

The necklace comes with an adjustable sterling silver 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 it with our Monarch Butterfly Silver Hoop Earrings. The matching butterfly designs create a bold combination for anyone who loves jewellery that makes a statement.

If you prefer something simpler, explore our Monarch Butterfly Silver Pendant Necklace, featuring the same intricate butterfly without gemstone accents.

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

Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July, making this necklace a thoughtful gift for someone celebrating a July birthday. Discover more designs in our July Birthstone Jewellery range.

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.

Important: Necklace lengths refer to the total circumference. If the necklace features a pendant, it will sit lower than the chain length alone—check the sizes & materials section for full sizing details.
