Item Description

Unique handmade jewelry for the woman who loves butterflies, the one of a kind PAPILIO BELA earrings will be a perfect gift to a loved one or to yourself!. The earrings feature artisan bronze butterfly dangles along with artisan lampwork glass beads, frosted Czech glass discs, bead caps, copper and sterling silver. Individually handmade from glowing bronze, the shield-shaped dangles are mirror-images of each other, ½ of a butterfly on one side and ½ on the other. The polished raised detailing of the butterfly's wings are exquisite against a light patina finish on the background for a vintage vibe. Please note: since the dangles were individually artisan handmade, they are very similar but are also a bit different.

Representing a flowery meadow under a big sky are shiny lampwork glass beads and frosted lilac glass discs. Also artisan made, the lampwork glass beads are a wondrous medley of swirling blue, lilac and bits of green. On the top and bottom of each are copper bead caps with a petalled flower design. A translucent frosted lilac Czech glass disc sits above each lampwork bead, topped by a 3 mm copper bead. Since the lavender discs are translucent, they glow beautifully in good light. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the eye-catching earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PAPILIO BELA earrings were created for the woman who has a deep love of butterflies and adores wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry! “Papilio bela” is Esperanto for “beautiful butterfly.”

Butterflies are a symbol of spiritual growth because of their magical transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Bronze is said to bring great calmness and deep meaningful thoughts, leading to a far greater insight into life’s problems. Even though man made, glass is said to carry the energies of transformation, rebirth and communication. Copper is believed to allow the wearer to recognize barriers in the path of personal development. Silver is a metal of love and healing; it is a mirror to the soul, helping us to see ourselves as others see us.

The one of a kind PAPILIO BELA artisan butterfly earrings were carefully designed and handmade in a dog friendly, smoke free studio. They will be carefully packed in an organza jewelry bag with tissue, perfect for gift giving to a loved one . . . or to yourself!
