In some myths, the butterfly promotes sleep and dreams. It is also commonly believed that when a butterfly lands on you it means good luck. In Chinese culture, two butterflies flying together is a symbol of love. The fluttery perfection of butterflies is believed to lighten the heart, and promote love and relationships. These colorful and vibrant, yet delicate creatures can imply freedom, endurance, inspiration, openness, change, joy, rebirth, patience, transformation and happiness. Butterflies also symbolize spring, a celebratory time of year, and embody the beauty of symmetry, pattern, color and shape.

The symbolic meaning of the butterfly is similar across most cultures, regardless of time, and is most commonly associated with the soul. Here's a look at the special meaning these fluttering friends can bring to jewelry designs: Also, one of the most popular tattoo images is a butterfly. Artistic depictions of butterflies can been found dating back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and more recently on American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey in the form of an 18Kt white gold and diamond Van Cleef and Arpels Envol butterfly ring. The popularity of the butterfly has stood the test of time. Throughout history, butterfly imagery has been used in decorative objects and people have adorned themselves in butterfly-themed designs. Just as butterflies take flight every spring, butterfly-themed jewelry and accessories emerge as fashion-forward favorites every year. Jewelry artists can easily add this popular motif using butterfly beads and components.
