Butterfly for Breast Cancer Research Necklace
Regular price $105.00The butterfly necklace is for women who want to remember their beauty and strength, not just wear a pretty necklace. The butterfly symbolizes so many things; beauty, metamorphosis, emerging with vibrance. But this butterfly is extra special because it symbolizes all of that and so much more...
Based on a cell image of breast cancer, I found beauty in an unsuspected place and used it to create this pendant to help you take your power back & provoke positive change. 10% of every purchase is donated to BCRF to support research for a cure, advance treatments and early detection techniques.
I used this image to create the Butterfly pendant. Can you see where it comes from?
The butterfly represents your inner metamorphosis, changing into the beautiful woman you’ve become through your struggles. Whether you experienced your own battle or supported a loved one’s fight, this pendant is a symbol of your strength that emerges from the process as a beautiful butterfly, transformed into a new woman.
The butterfly reminds you to stay strong, so you’ll fight with grace and vibrance. Or to remind you of the beautiful spirits who’ve flown from our earth, and keep the good times you shared top of mind. To read more about my inspiration, click here.

What are the pendants made of?
Everything is created for you by me using unique cell image pendants paired with semi-precious stones, sterling silver & 14k gold filled metals and jewelry tools, like pliers & even a torch for my soldered pieces. Here’s how the process works:
I use cell images to create my pendants in 2 different ways. For the first, I select an interesting portion of the image, cut it out and set it in a bezel under resin. In the second process, I use the same cell image and digitally draw on top of it with special software to create a 3D model that is then cast in metal. Once I have the castings or resin image pendants completed, I design and build the pieces around them by adding in semi-precious stones, crystals and chains.

Where does the donation go?
That depends on the piece you purchase. Each cause has a unique charity partner that is dedicated to finding cures, better treatments, and providing patient education & support for that specific cause. You’ll find information about which charity your donation is going to in the description of each piece. You can read more information on all of our charity partners here.
How do you find your charity partners?
Transparency in non-profits is required by law and allows us to see where their funds are allocated. We use charity navigator, which is a website that aggregates all the public information charities must provide the public in to an easy to digest charity profile. We use this information to choose the charities that devote most of their funding back to research, programs and support for patients. If you’d like to check it out for yourself, here’s the link: https://www.charitynavigator.org/
Where do your images come from?
All of our cell images are common use files sourced from reputable sources such as scientific journals and researchers.
How did you come up with this idea?
I first started using cell images as the basis of my designs in college. I needed inspiration for a project and stumbled across a microscopic image of the H1N1 virus. I used the disease’s outline to create a brooch that gained rave reviews & I was hooked on this concept.
While I was in college my brother was diagnosed with Lupus- an incredibly painful, auto-immune disease with no known cause or cure.
Shortly after that, my grandpa, who was like a father to me, was diagnosed with stage IV Lung Cancer. He passed away within a month.
I was left feeling empty and powerless, I wanted to heal them, myself and my family. But what could I do- I’m just one person. And then, a light bulb went on; If we all get together, to rally behind this cause, we can start a movement toward positive change for the future. A movement that uses these diseases to take our power back from them and raise money for research toward a cure.
My pieces are more than just jewelry; they’re hope, strength, awareness, charity & cures. 10% of every purchase goes straight to research for cures.
