Amethyst Butterfly on a Metal Stand

For a shelf that marks a new chapter. Purple-and-white carved wings on a slim metal butterfly stand.

Let a new chapter have its own keepsake.

Butterflies are often used as symbols of change, while amethyst carries an association with calm in crystal practice. White chevrons cross the purple wings, and carved grooves follow their scalloped edges.

The story

In the nineteenth century the Roman gem carver Luigi Rosi cut a small onyx cameo of Psyche, the figure Greek myth pairs with butterfly wings. The cameo is now kept at The Met.

Mark the start of something.

Place it where you keep a journal or a book you are beginning. It is also a thoughtful gift for a new home or a new job, with a note naming the change you are celebrating.
