"One little movement and the world moves. The air moves across my ears and I hear it - the little butterfly - I hear its movements. It makes waves every time it flaps wings. I feel changes. I hear its wings dancing with the beams of the sun. Is it real? Or is it just my imagination?”

 

The seemingly singular creation can transform into 8 styles, from an ornate brooch to an elegant necklace or a simple, delicate bracelet. The tsavorite garnet forming the butterfly’s body can be detached from the wings to compose the dynamic and playful variations to bring delightful surprises.

 

The multi-dimensional amethyst wings have been acutely carved with exquisite craftsmanship. The jewel captures a butterfly in motion: fluttering in the sky, the wings come in contact with the wind and glisten under the sunlight. The fluid curves of the wings look like water with waves generated by the creature’s gestures. These waves also symbolize sound from the movement, surrounding the body like a piece of music.

 

Diamonds are set between the titanium and amethyst, altering light through the translucent gemstone. The interaction of light playing off of the gemstones creates reflections that add a new perception of depth. Around the wings’ edges, diamonds are set on titanium, adding further dimensionality as the butterfly glides through the air.
