In Japan, the butterfly has long been seen as a symbol of transformation, rebirth, good fortune and luck. Inspired by her trip to Kyoto, Japan, our designer created these pretty and petite earrings with lifelike sculptural details. Our silver items have a protective lacquer finish to help prevent oxidation. To care for our silver items, simply wipe down your pieces with a dry, 100% cotton cloth. Keep them away from water, jewelry cleaners, silver cleaners, treated polishing cloths, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, hand-sanitizers and make-up. We offer our own that you can safely use.
