Butterfly Jewelry to Love

Welcome back!
Butterfly jewelry comes in such a variety of styles and colors that adding my own version to the mix was a little daunting! But I love color, and decided to see what I could do to create some interestingly creative designs. I settled on blue, green and lavender butterflies in two color tones with a little sparkle to highlight the design. My sterling silver and 14K gold butterflies are perfect for a classier look.
I like to think that living in Florida was an inspiration when it came to making butterflies, but the truth is that they can be found almost everywhere on the planet. Some of the most interesting and gorgeous examples are from the rain forest; living jewels in blues, reds and yellows.
But even in homely Ohio where I grew up, butterfly beauty was a part of every summer, and we looked forward to seeing these first harbingers of spring. My interest in these beautiful insects goes back a few decades, and it became time at last to create my own line of butterfly jewelry.
Wear a Silver Butterfly Pendant

This sweet silver butterfly pendant was an inspired piece. All day long I sit at my desk, either designing new jewelry, writing or dare I say, daydreaming? One of the best ways to do this is by following the lazy fluttering of a passing butterfly.
For years I thought about making one for my customers; a butterfly as delicate as the ones dipping and sweeping above the bushes in my backyard. It was not an easy task due to the size and detail required, but it was certainly a joyful one!
Are you, like me, one of those butterfly people? Someone who has to follow it until it finally flaps out of sight? Lucky for us, this sterling silver butterfly will stay right where you put it.
