Wearing a Butterfly-Shaped Necklace

Question
What is the ruling on someone who buys gold jewelry in the shape of animals, butterflies, and insects and wears it for adornment?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the image of the animal is small such that its features are not visible to someone standing if it is on the ground, it is permissible. Likewise, if the image is large and its features are not clear, it is permissible. And God knows best.
