Why You’ll Love Them

These butterfly earrings combine structure, light, and color in perfect harmony. Each pair features serene sea-green Aquamarine, echoing the Nawab’s fresh mint tones, and luminous Herkimer Quartz, whose inclusions capture the delicate brilliance of light filtering through wings. Together, they create a contemporary yet graceful balance of form and clarity.

Sustainable & Handcrafted

Every handmade pair is set in 14k gold vermeil (2.5 microns) over sterling silver, crafted with fine-jewelry precision and ethical care. The butterfly wings are responsibly preserved after their natural life cycle, transforming ephemeral beauty into enduring design.
