An unusual insect that symbolises change. A unique design with rich symbolism, adorned with two diamonds, two ounces of sterling silver. Butterflies have lived on earth since what scientists call the "flowering plant era" dating back to the Cretaceous period. For millennia, they have inspired humans with their fragile nature and the immense power they possess. In its metamorphosis from a mere colourless caterpillar into a stately winged creature of delicate beauty, the butterfly has become a metaphor for transformation and hope. In Buddhism, the butterfly is a symbol of the sage. In ancient Greece, the word 'psyche' meant soul and butterfly. In the Christian tradition, it is Easter and the resurrection of Christ. In China, the butterfly is a symbol of immortality, joy and pleasure. According to Indian beliefs, the gods sent butterflies to Earth so that people would learn what true beauty is.
