Why oddities collectors love this keychain
A hand-tied dragonfly “specimen” for your keys, bag, or zippers. Verdigris Wing is woven in silk knotwork around a real agate core bead, with a story card that lists its specimen record and property: Aegis (protection & warding).
Each piece feels like it slipped out of a traveling cabinet of curiosities—numbered, limited, and made to live beside your terrariums, oddities shelves, or con bag.

Shipping and care
Process and materials
Process for creating this keychain:
• Hand-woven in silk using a knotwork technique inspired by the Korean heritage art of Maedeup
• Attached to a sturdy lobster clasp keychain and keyring
• Sealed cord ends to prevent fraying
• Handmade in house in the USA
• Packaged in a protective sleeve with GreenWrap and backing card for safe shipping
Care
• Avoid soaking/submerging (silk is strong, but water + abrasion shortens lifespan).
• If it gets dusty, wipe gently with a dry cloth.
• Don’t store under heavy pressure that could distort the wing loops.

FAQs
Is the agate bead real?
Yes, each specimen includes a natural agate bead. Agate is a stable quartz-family stone formed in bands.
Is the “Property: Aegis” a literal claim?
It’s part of the fantasy-inspired collector labeling for this series and meant to feel like a cataloged ward/specimen tag.
Will the knotwork snag or fall apart?
It’s meticulously made for daily carry: ends are sealed and stress points are reinforced. Like any fiber accessory, avoid sharp edges and aggressive abrasion.
Can I pick the exact agate bead?
If you want a specific look (more banding / darker or lighter), leave a note at checkout and I’ll do my best based on what’s available in the batch.
