Did You Know?

There are more than 160,000 species of moths.
A gold and enamel necklace features a thick, braided chain and a moth-shaped pendant. The insect's wide wings display vibrant green, orange, and red enamel patterns within textured gold cells. A textured, oval body sits at the center, topped by two feathered antennae. A circular loop joins the moth to the chain, which curves into a heart shape. Fine, repeating textures mark the reflective gold surfaces of the pendant and decorative clasp.
