Lysandra, Maori butterfly necklace in silver and paua

The "Lysandra" necklace is an elegant fusion of the delicate butterfly and the shimmering beauty of paua, transporting the wearer into a world of mystery, magic, and light.

The name "Lysandra," also known as the blue-nacre Argus, evokes the ethereal beauty of this rare butterfly with silvery-blue hues, symbolizing grace and freedom. The oval pendant, engraved with a butterfly seemingly ready to take flight, appears like a treasure from a cabinet of curiosities. It captures the imagination with its fragile yet powerful presence, reminiscent of metamorphosis and the soul’s quest for elevation.

To enhance this creation, a row of small silver medallions set with paua cabochons surrounds the central pendant. The paua, an iridescent shell native to New Zealand, reflects a thousand shifting shades of blue, green, purple, and turquoise. In the light, its reflections dance like liquid flames or stars in the night sky.

This necklace carries deep symbolism, rooted in nature and tradition. In many cultures, the butterfly is seen as a symbol of the soul, transformation, and rebirth. Its apparent fragility conceals inner strength and unmatched resilience, connecting the earthly and the divine.

Paua holds an essential place in Maori culture. Associated with the stars, it represents the eyes of ancestors watching from the night sky. It also embodies the richness of land and sea, linking humans to nature and its sacred cycles.

Thus, "Lysandra" is an ode to the ephemeral beauty of nature, the magic of the oceans, and the spirituality within every being. Wearing this necklace is an invitation to embrace transformation and celebrate life.
