Delicate, ghostly and just a little strange, Ghosts of the Butterfly Garden Choker is a one of a kind statement necklace inspired by pale butterflies, overgrown forgotten gardens and the slightly darker side of fairycore.
▫️
Handmade with layers of silver chain, the necklace forms an intricate web across the neckline, combining close-fitting choker details with softly draped chains below.
▫️
Scattered throughout are luminous pearly white butterfly beads, their carved wing details catching the light with a beautiful subtle sheen. Tiny pearlescent and translucent white beads are threaded between sections of chain, adding texture and an almost frost-covered appearance.
▫️
The design builds towards the centre, where a butterfly hangs from the upper chain before descending into a second butterfly below, creating a delicate vertical drop. Additional butterflies hang at either side while further butterfly details continue around the neckline, making the piece interesting from every angle rather than concentrating all of the detail at the front.
▫️
The contrast between the romantic pearly butterflies and darker silver-tone chain gives this necklace its distinctive fairygrunge aesthetic — feminine and ethereal without becoming overly sweet.
▫️
It would look beautiful styled with distressed knits, lace, corset tops, slip dresses, oversized cardigans or layered with other silver jewellery for a more maximalist alternative look.
▫️
Because this piece is handmade, the small variations and irregularities within the design are part of its character rather than the uniform finish of mass-produced jewellery.

Only one exists — once it has gone, it won’t be recreated exactly.
