A delicate and graceful Monarch Butterfly necklace, cast from meticulously hand-pierced silver and finished with a sterling silver chain and clasp.

Although Monarch butterflies are found worldwide, they naturally established themselves in New Zealand, making them a cherished part of our native wildlife. In Māori culture, Monarchs are known as wairua atua—supernatural spirits—symbolizing transformation, hope, and rebirth.

Tania’s tribute to the Monarch is exquisitely detailed, showcasing her artistry and technical skill. The intricately hand-pierced wings are cut from silver, and the finished butterfly rests elegantly against your chest, its wings gently curved as if poised for flight.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver. The alloy composition results in a metal that is very durable and long lasting. Sterling silver is easily polished using a polishing cloth. Tania Mallow jewellery is certified sterling silver.
