Size Variations: Dimensions vary by design and stone, typically ranging from 0.75 inches to 1.5 inches in width, making them noticeable yet delicate enough for everyday wear.

Gentle Handling: The delicate wings and antennae of butterfly carvings require extra care to prevent chips or breaks.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Remove pendant before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes.
Gentle Cleaning: Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Proper Storage: Store in a fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches from harder stones or metals. Consider individual compartments to protect delicate wing edges.
