One-of-a-kind item: expect slight variations in color and detail
Each butterfly is naturally unique. Variations are inherent and celebrated.
The Delias Timorensis Butterfly Necklace, also known as the Timor Jezebel, is handcrafted from a real preserved butterfly (Delias timorensis), admired for its striking contrast of golden yellow wings framed by deep charcoal black, punctuated with vivid red accents along the lower edges. The coloration is bold yet refined, creating a naturally graphic composition that feels both modern and timeless.
Suspended from a delicate gold chain, the butterfly rests elegantly at the collarbone, allowing its crisp patterning and organic symmetry to take center stage. This necklace is visually powerful without feeling heavy, a statement piece defined by clarity, contrast, and balance.
This piece is celebrated for its dramatic color blocking and strong wing definition. The warm yellow center brings light and vibrancy, while the dark borders and red detailing add depth and sophistication. It pairs beautifully with minimalist silhouettes, bare skin, and clean lines, making it an effortless focal point.
Each necklace is truly one of a kind. No two butterflies share identical markings, ensuring your piece is singular and personal.
Each necklace is meticulously handcrafted using ethically preserved real butterfly wings, collected only after the butterfly’s natural life cycle. The wings are carefully sealed to protect their delicate structure and preserve their natural coloration over time.
The butterfly is encased in 14k gold vermeil (2.5 microns) over sterling silver, offering durability and a warm finish that complements the butterfly’s vivid tones.
The Timor Jezebel (Delias timorensis) is native to Southeast Asia and is known for its bold, high-contrast coloration and distinctive wing patterning. Its striking palette and confident presence make it especially compelling when preserved as wearable art.
The Timor Jezebel Butterfly Necklace symbolizes clarity, vitality, and confidence. Its vivid yellow wings represent energy and light, while the darker edges reflect grounding and strength — a balanced expression of boldness and restraint.
