*~Butterfly Dreams~*

Papillon Belle is the next item on my wish list. A good friend of mine introduced me to this amazing jewellery a few months ago and I am absolutely besotted! Papillon Belle is an exclusive range of jewellery designed by Cape Town graphic designer and illustrator Audrey Botha. She uses real butterfly wings (once they have passed on) and creates amazing jewellery. Their lifespan is between 1 and 4 weeks, so Audrey wanted to find a way to immortalise the beautiful creatures in pendents in order to hand them down from generation to generation. They are very special. The exotic butterfly wings are set in Stirling silver frames with a choice of perspex or glass setting. They range between R1700 and R3400. Quite pricey some would say, but to me they are worth every cent! They are absolutely stunning! I'd love to own one one day in order to be able to pass it down to my daughter and for her to pass it down to her daughter and let the generations continue. Just by looking at them, creates a sense of calmness to me and that is another element which makes it so special...
