I was inspired to designs this by my childhood memories of visiting my local history museum where there was a magnificent display of colourful butterflies. Butterflies appear in Irish literature as messengers between this world and the other world, no doubt a reference to their magical transformative life cycle. A very pretty design with dainty embellishment and if you look closely you can see the body of the insect part detailed in the centre. The larger pearl beads are the huge ‘eyes’ that butterflies have to scare off any pray. A butterfly can be a lovely keepsake for someone special, this trinket can be sentimental or the perfect a token of an existing friendship. This is such a pretty design perfect for so many occasions - birthdays, thank-yous, little ones’ decor, Mother’s Day and much more. Like all our pieces, it twinkles like jewellery.
