A symbolic creature in many cultures, the butterfly expresses young womanhood and–with its fleeting spirit–the transitory nature of happiness.
Designers have taken to the winged beauty and its delicate appearance for both home and fashion accessories. The butterfly’s charm and grace can be childlike, elegant or innocently seductive. The enchantment lies in each artful interpretation, from modern and abstract to strikingly realistic.
You may find a butterfly perched atop a pillbox, resting upon a satin purse or fluttering about a candlestick; a colorful crowd may glide across a silk scarf. Sometimes sculpted in crystal or sterling or crafted from feathers and gems, these new varieties are both rare and collectible. Catch one for keeps.
