Radiant Butterfly shows a butterfly caught mid flight. Its wings are drawn in openwork sterling silver and filled with tapered baguette moissanite that looks like sunlight through stained glass. Each upper wing holds 6 baguettes and 26 pavé stones, and each lower wing repeats the pattern on a smaller scale with 3 baguettes and 11 pavé stones. The baguettes fan outward like the veins of a real wing, and the pavé traces every edge, so the whole butterfly sparkles, not only its center.
A 1 carat round brilliant moissanite forms the body, measuring 6.4 mm (0.25 in) and graded VVS1. VVS1 means any inclusions are so tiny they are very difficult to see even under 10x magnification. Moissanite has a more intense sparkle than diamond, thanks to its higher refractive index and more than double the dispersion, which throws flashes of rainbow fire as you move. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is harder than sapphire and ruby, so it keeps its brilliance through everyday wear. And it costs far less than a diamond of a similar size, so a piece set entirely in moissanite stays within reach.
The pendant measures 19 x 24 mm (0.75 x 0.94 in) and is wider than it is tall, just like a butterfly with open wings. Its center stone gives it just enough weight to sit steady against the collarbone through a long evening. The fine 1.4 mm (0.06 in) sterling silver chain adjusts from 41 to 46 cm (16.14 to 18.11 in), which lets you wear it close with an open neckline or a little lower over a crew neck.
For many people the butterfly has long stood for change, renewal and new beginnings, which is why it is a popular gift for a graduation, a new job, a recovery or a fresh start. Whether you give it for that meaning or simply because she loves butterflies, it is a piece she will reach for often. Inside an Equanimity Essence mailer lined with protective honeycomb paper, you'll find a white jewelry box tied with ribbon, a velvet storage pouch, a polishing cloth, a thank you card and the GRA certificate.

Delivery
Every order is quality checked, packed to order and shipped with tracking. Estimated delivery is 5 to 8 business days to the US and 5 to 12 business days to other destinations, including processing. These are estimates, and delivery times can vary with carrier and customs processing. We ship internationally Delivered Duty Paid, so there are no surprise import charges on arrival. For deliveries outside the US and UK, please include a phone number at checkout so the carrier can contact you if needed. Please check your address carefully, as orders can't be redirected once they've shipped.
Product Notes
Measurements are supplied by the maker. Because each piece is finished by hand, allow for minor variance. Lead-free and nickel-safe as specified by the maker.
Returns
Each piece is packed to order, so we're unable to accept returns for change of mind or style preference. If your order arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, contact us within 10 days of delivery with clear photos and we'll send a free replacement or issue a refund.
Care Tips
- Remove before swimming, showering or applying lotion and perfume
- Store in the velvet pouch to protect the stones and the openwork wings
- Sterling silver naturally darkens with air exposure over time, and the polishing cloth restores the shine
- To brighten the moissanite, clean gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly
