$32.00

Brand Unique, Handmade Recycled Jewelry - Olive Bites Studio

Do you love butterfles?

Imagine for a moment we are a single cell among the millions of cells that make up a caterpillar. Our little world has been operating like a well-oiled machine and creeping along most predictably until one day the machine begins to shake and shutter. Systems fail. Cells begin to commit suicide. There is a sense of doom and darkness.

But, from within the dying population of cells, a new breed of cell starts to immerge. They are called imaginal cells (really how cool is that).

Clustering in communities they devise a plan out of the wreckage. They create a great flying machine - a butterfly - that enables the survivor cells to escape the ashes of the caterpillar world and experience the unimaginable (and yet not unimaginable because it is the imaginal cells that did it) beautiful butterfly world!

Don't you love them even more now?!

This beautiful cork necklace is lovingly handmade by me with natural whole cork, 2mm stainless steel ballchain, industrial hardware and science grade glass test tube in scrap wood cube. Lobster clasp, pewter heart - I will stamp the heart with ANY initial!

Please allow me to choose the wood color based on my existing stock and the design you choose!

This handmade cork necklace is almost 1" and test tube is 4". The chain comes in your choice of length.

Cork is the bark of the cork oak tree. The cork for your necklace was grown in a managed forest in Portugal where the bark is carefully harvested, once every nine years, in a centuries-old tradition with hand tools and without fertilizers or pesticides; a process that ensures the forests will remain undamaged!

CHARM CAN BE STAMPED WITH ANY INITIAL - IF YOU WOULD LIKE A ONE LETTER INITIAL PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN COMMENTS SECTION OF YOUR ORDER!

Please buy with confidence- YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED!
