For every day dress, I tend to wear delicate jewelry because it’s comfortable. Large pieces of jewelry, especially necklaces, to me can sometimes feel like I’m wearing an anchor around my neck.

This dainty crystal butterfly necklace incorporates eight different colors of Swarovski crystals that seem to fly around the also dainty sterling chain. It’s very easy to attach the sterling hook to any link on the chain so you can make it adjustable.

The beautiful butterfly Swarovski crystal beads came from Jerry Smith Beads at www.jsbeads.com.
