Did you know that a single monarch can travel hundreds or even thousands of miles -- just like the Porsches that these amazing butterflies were made from?

We created three different-sized butterflies using laser technology from a black Porsche 911S and a Porsche GT3 RS in lava orange. Portions of the original black factory paint were removed to describe the monarch's wing and body markings. The GT3 RS lava orange aluminum metal accents the butterfly's trademark bright wing color.

Freeing these butterflies from the Porsche metal was challenging. Much manual labor was involved, including using a handheld jeweler's saw to reach the tight areas.

Atenae are made from stainless steel sourced from the wheel surround of a Mercedes-Benz G550. These are attached with hammered copper rivets and curled at the ends to provide a bail for a black cable stainless steel chain. We also used two-part epoxy to attach a pin bar on the backside so that the Porsche Butterfly can be worn as a necklace or a pin.

We've engraved the names of the cars on the butterfly's backside and given it a CRASH VIN.

It is challenging to take car metal and turn it into beautiful jewelry. Our artists spend a lot of time ensuring that each CRASH item meets our high standards for quality and design. Your order will arrive in custom CRASH packaging with a Registration Card, crafted by hand in our Los Angeles body shop studio.
