I hand etched this 1x1" pendant using a stencil of my own design. It ranges in color from gold to a dark reddish-pink It features a large butterfly with detail in it's wings along with two smaller butterfly silhouettes.

After etching I fire it in my kiln at almost 1500 degrees Farenheit. The metallic looking dichroic layer is part of the glass itself and is not something that wears off.

The gold-plated bail opening is slightly over 3mm in diameter. This pendant would look great with a 2mm black rubber cord: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2522182.

The glass is nearly 1/4" thick and is actually very sturdy. Each pendant is individually handmade by me and properly annealed for durability. Each piece is unique and they will often have small imperfections or bubbles in the glass.

Butterflies are always inspiring!
