Product Description
Who doesn't love woolly bear caterpillars? In addition to being cute, for lack of a better adjective, they are the essence of resilience, hibernating during the winter, and then pupating in the spring, before hatching into the lovely Isabella tiger moth. This hibernation in larval form is why they may be the last and first caterpillars seen before and after the winter, acting as crawling "book-ends" to our cold season. They are also "generalists', meaning that they are not fussy about their diets, consuming various different greenery. This necklace features a woolly bear caterpillar along with one of its many food sources, violet leaves. I fabricate it out of Sterling silver and lacquered jeweler's brass, and carefully hand-paint it, and seal it with a coat of protective resin. The focal point measures 3" long by 1 3/8" wide and the Sterling chain is 20" long and adjustable to shorter lengths. It's a cool necklace that is sure to create smiles when worn.
