ABOUT
Lysandra, moth necklace in sterling silver and paua
The necklace "Lysandra" is an elegant fusion of the delicacy of the butterfly and the shimmering splendor of paua, transporting the wearer into a world of mystery and magic.
The name "Lysandra," also known as the Blue Argus butterfly, evokes the ethereal beauty of this butterfly with its iridescent blue hues. The oval locket engraved with a butterfly, akin to a treasure from a cabinet of curiosities, serves as the focal point of this necklace. It appears poised to take flight at any moment, capturing the imagination with its delicate and mysterious allure.
To accentuate this creation, a row of mini lockets adorned with paua cabochons frames the central locket. Paua, the iridescent shell originating from New Zealand, adds a touch of brilliance and color, capturing the shifting reflections of light like stars in a nighttime sky.
This necklace carries profound symbolism, rooted in the traditions and beliefs of various cultures. In many societies, the butterfly is often seen as a symbol of the soul, transformation, and rebirth. Its apparent fragility conceals unmatched strength and resilience while evoking the connection between the earthly and divine worlds.
As for paua, it holds significance in Maori culture. Associated with the stars, it embodies the eyes of ancestors watching over their descendants from the night skies. It also symbolizes the beauty and wealth of the land and sea, reminding us of the deep connection between humans and nature.
Thus, "Lysandra" is an ode to the ephemeral beauty of nature and the spirituality that resides within every living being. It invites the wearer to embrace transformation, celebrate life, and connect with the mysterious forces that guide our existence.
