The story of the design
This pendant centers on a hand-carved butterfly formed from white jadeite jade wings measuring approximately 14x8mm each. The soft, translucent white tone gives the carving a gentle presence while allowing the sculpted wing details to remain visible in natural light.
The butterfly body and antennae are formed in polished sterling silver and finished in bright rhodium plating, creating a clean contrast against the jade. Small white zircon accents add subtle brilliance along the body and upper wings, providing light without distracting from the carved jade.
Butterflies have long symbolized transformation and renewal, and the natural character of jade lends the piece a quiet elegance rather than flash. Suspended from a matching sterling silver chain with lobster clasp, the pendant sits comfortably and reads clearly even at a modest scale.
A thoughtful design built around natural material and graceful form.
