True Joy in Life

"This is the true joy in life: being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one: being thoroughly worn out fefore you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."
George Bernard Shaw

Symbolism of the Butterfly


The butterfly is a powerful symbol for transformation. Often used to represent change, hope and joy. The Chinese believed a jade butterfly suggested a wedding of souls, making it an appropriate gift for the groom to give to his bride. Butterflies symbolize transformation and metamorphosis and are a favorite symbol theme at World Peace Jewelry..
Shown above is our Butterfly Dreams Necklace featuring an exquisite vintage hand painted porcelain butterfly pendant. Absolutely gorgeous. The details are exquisite. I've hand wire wrapped wonderful natural blood red Carnelian with gold jewelers wire to form the chain. To accent the butterfly pendant, I've clustered a generous mix of gems that pick up the rich colors of the butterfly, including peridot, carnelian, citrine, blue lace agate.
The quotation that inspired this beautiful butterfly jewelry piece is from Chuang Tzu: I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
