A recent trip out to my garden to tidy up some rose bushes, resulted in a delightful morning observing some of our native butterflies. Their ethereal fluttering and darting is the inspiration for the Le Papillon Collection of necklaces that have proven to be immensely popular. Such stunning colors and elegant wings of fantasy. Butterflies have been trending for about a year in both fashion and home furnishings and are now filtering down to jewelry. It is predicted that even brides will be smitten with this trend in Spring 2017. I can only imagine how magnificent a spring wedding with a butterfly theme could be! Butterflies are also such a perfect fit to showcase the beauty of so many gorgeous translucent stones. This remarkable butterfly pendant with pastel pink and moss green watermelon tourmaline wings, was designed to showcase the unique beauty of the tourmaline slices and has been mounted in an 18k gold frame. It has been married to a delicate necklace of hand-linked tourmaline in gold vermeil to repeat the colors found in the wings. Worn alone or layered with another necklace in your jewelry armoire, these charming necklaces quietly and gently call for attention. Unlike the ethereal and flighty butterflies that fluttered about in the garden - this butterfly will be most happy to go anywhere with you! 24 inches long. Butterfly is .70 inches wide X .62 inches high.
