Death's head moth necklace, Steampunk assemblage, wood lasercut Hawk moth, black cat necklace, Scarab beetle necklace, copper, green eyes

If you're looking for something totally unique, Steampunk, quirky, and one of a kind, this gorgeous Laercut Death's head moth necklace in copper toned metal is perfect for you.

It's a Steampunk assemblage of many different metal colors and styles.

The focal piece is a laser-cut wood cutout of a Death's Head Moth.

You may recognize the moth from the movie Silence of the Lambs.
There is an actual moth called the Death's Head. It's a type of Hawk moth and gets its name from the pattern on its head, which resembles a skull.
More info on this fascinating moth to be added.

The laser-cut moth was made by affixing a photo or picture of the moth to thin plywood and then cutting it out with a laser cutter.
Note. I do not make the laser cuts. I just assemble the jewelry.

On the back at the top, I have added a diamond-shaped filigree copper metal connector. It frames the moth's head.

On the front, where the body of the moth should be, I added a laser-cut wooden black cat.
At the cat's feet is a copper-toned Scarab beetle. The beetle is decorated with hieroglyphs and other markings and has three small topaz colored stones near the head.

On the outstretched wings of the moth, on either side, are 10mm green glass cat eye cabochons.

On the back, above the eyes, are small copper gears. The necklace hangs from these.

I finished the necklace with a large oval link copper-toned chain and a lobster claw clasp.
All the pieces are connected with sturdy jump rings. The parts are assembled in layers using a strong adhesive.

The chain and findings are silver-toned metal plated metal alloy.

Since this cutout is paper on wood, I would suggest not getting it wet.

The back of the necklace is painted black. The adhesive is clear but slightly visible.

This necklace is 19 inches long but I will be glad to lengthen or shorten it for you.
