Gingko leaf butterfly pendant, handmade eco friendly fine silver and sapphire pendant necklace-OOAK #5 in the series

This is the 5th in my gingko leaf butterfly series of pendants. It features a unique gingko leaf shape studded with natural Songea sapphires in a yellow shade, with one of them being a little more orange. It is made from recycled fine (.999) pure silver.
Both the pendant and the chain have been given an antique patina. I bushed off most of the patina on the butterfly and left it with a satin finish.
Hung on an oxidized 18 inch diamond bead cut sterling silver chain. This pendant measures 36mm long by 39mm wide or just under 1 1/2 inches long by just over 1 1/2 inches wide.

Sapphire is Septembers birthstone.

A note on precious metal clay:
ArtClay silver is a recycled product that consists of fine silver particles suspended in an organic binder. The clay can be worked like other forms of clay, sculpted to almost any shape you desire. The product is then fired at an extremely high temperature, either by kiln or torch. The binder burns away resulting in a pure silver (.999) piece. The silver is reclaimed from such sources as 35mm film and medical and industrial leftovers. No strip mining necessary.
