Three bullet casings were sent to me from Ukraine. They metamorphosed into butterflies; one found home and 100% of the proceeds were sent to SVOI Foundation, to help Ukrainian people rebuild their lives in the midst of Russia’s aggressions. SVOI pays for medical surgeries and reconstructions. If you’d like to help, and wear a symbol of positive change for Ukraine, I have two more options available here now. Thank you to Tanya in Kyiv, for trusting me to help, sending me the casings so that we could make magic happen. Glory to Ukraine. Heroes never die. Герої не вмирають
The necklace is sterling silver, with 18kt gold accents, a brass casing from a bullet fired in Ukraine, and micro-mosaic butterfly wings that say “Heroyi ne vmyrayut (Heroes don’t die)” on the reverse.
Handmade chain by @littlereejewelry includes accent beads of Turquoise, tourmaline, aquamarine, malachite and opal.
Chain is 20" long and pendant is 5" long.
The brooch pin is in the shape of a Pysanka, or Easter egg, stamped “Slava Ukraini (Glory to Ukraine)” on the reverse. The traditional belief is that as long as someone is making pysanky somewhere in the world, there will be peace. I used wheat for this one, thinking of the hopeful act of planting a garden; the farmers who provide food for a country at war must hold hope in their hearts every moment. Each pysanka I have made has been a fundraiser for Ukraine and this one is no different.
Proceeds go to Ukraine, SVOI Foundation svoyi.org.ua

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
After wearing, wipe jewelry with a clean, soft cloth to remove oils and light tarnish. Periodically, you may clean the jewelry with mild soap, cool water and a soft bristle brush, but do not immerse in water. Do not wear micro-mosaics while swimming or showering. The metal portions may be cleaned with a polishing cloth impregnated with polishing compound, being careful not to get the compound on the micro-mosaics as it may discolor them.
