Butterfly Dreams Gemstone Necklace from World Peace Jewelry

Butterfly Dreams Necklace
World Peace Jewelry
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.  Chuang Tzu

If you like things that are bright and shiney new, this necklace is not for you. This is a vintage pendant. Hand painted porcelain butterfly is absolutely gorgeous. However, it is truly vintage, therefore it is not perfect. The details are exquisite. Butterflies symbolize transformation and metamorphosis.


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.. A perfect piece of jewelry for any butterfly lover.
 Note: I love vintage things and often incorporate them into my work. This butterfly pendant is one of a very few that I've been hoarding for years. I purchased them, along with some others, many years ago and have never seen anything like them since. When they're gone, they're gone.

Handmade jewelry makes a thoughtful, spirit - filled gift.  Browse World Peace Jewelry for more magical symbol jewelry.

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.
