Butterflies are one of the most beautiful and colorful insects in nature. They have been a symbol of beauty and elegance since ancient times.
Butterflies are also the muse of inspiration for jewelry designers.
Whether it is the Art Nouveau period or the contemporary jewelry industry, whether it is an international big name with a long history or a rising jewelry designer, they have all performed different styles of butterfly jewelry.

Although the elements are all butterflies, how to interpret them will inevitably bring the personality of their respective brands. Today, let’s take a peek at the “Dream Butterfly” of various brands.
Butterfly inspiration captured by international big names
Tiffany
Tiffany's Blue Book tanzanite platinum brooch is one of my favorite among Tiffany's many butterfly-shaped jewelry.
From the color of the gem itself to the shape of the butterfly, and the color gradient details of the small accessories, it reveals elegance and nobility everywhere.

Many butterfly jewelry designs use colored gemstones, but very few use colorless white diamonds to make butterflies.
But Tiffany's pair of diamond butterfly earrings are very brilliant.
From the shape and body direction of the butterfly to the size and size of the pavé-set diamonds, all the details show the meticulous attention of jewelry craftsmen.
Tiffany has a lot of butterfly jewelry, but the overall design style tends to be gorgeous but restrained: full of gemstones, and the color matching will not be too colorful.

Buccellati
Buccellati's butterfly jewelry, the wings usually use the brand's iconic textured gold carving process, which is complex and meticulous.
The combination of lace metal and elegant pearls, the overall style is ladylike, low-key and elegant.

Dior
The butterfly in the Dior Diorette series is not a design theme, but it is an indispensable finishing touch.

Dior Diorette series
The lacquer process adds color to the entire jewelry work. The colors of butterflies and flowers match with the gemstones, which are colorful, brilliant and full of childlike innocence.

Dior Diorette series
Cartier
When it comes to Cartier, red, blue and green fruit kits come to mind, leopards, tigers, crocodiles, snakes...
Butterfly-shaped jewelry is not Cartier's iconic design. What is remarkable is the following Cartier butterfly-shaped bracelet, which can be disassembled into a brooch design.
It is difficult for me, Cartier, to make the butterfly into an independent woman's calm demeanor.

Graff
Compared with the extravagance and gorgeousness of other brands, the butterfly shape of Graff's lingering butterfly series is more simple and classic.

Graff Butterfly Collection
The small colorful butterflies are agile, simple but not simple.
Different from the cumbersome details of high-end jewelry, the Graff Butterfly series is more suitable for daily wear, comfortable but eye-catching.

Butterflies in the eyes of Chinese jewelry designers
In traditional Chinese culture, butterflies have always been a symbol of wealth, elegance, and love. Chinese designers and designers of Chinese origin also favor butterflies.
Speaking of butterfly jewelry by Chinese designers, the first thing I have to mention is "Miss Butterfly" Cindy Chao Zhao Xinqi.
by Cindy Chao
Cindy Chao
The reason why Cindy Chao is called "Miss Butterfly" is because she has a soft spot for making butterfly jewelry.
Since 2008, Cindy Chao has made an annual butterfly brooch every year to witness her growth and transformation this year. Each work takes more than 18 months and nearly 10,000 working hours.

In March 2009, the "Royal Butterfly Brooch" designed by her was permanently collected by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Mason Tsai Jewelry
Chinese people have a strong affection for jade, how can Chinese designers not include the figure of "king of jade" jadeite in their butterfly jewelry works?
by Mason Tsai
Mason Tsai, a Chinese emerald jewelry designer who was born in a jadeite family in Taipei, his emerald butterfly jewelry is eye-catching.
by Mason Tsai
Mason Tsai uses eclectic materials in the design of the butterfly shape, uses bold and unrestrained colors, and combines Chinese and Western design styles.

It boldly interprets the traditional shape, turning fudou and leaves into butterfly wings and becoming a part of the design language.

Appreciating Chen Shiying's jewelry works always leaves people at a loss for words.
The creativity of Chen Shiying's works is unique for the same butterfly-shaped jewelry. Not only is the material selected carefully, but also it integrates many craftsmanship.

The original titanium metal craftsmanship is the backbone of jewelry, with colorful colors, and each piece can be called a work of art, full of tension.

by Wallace Chan
Looking at Chen Shiying's works, there is really a kind of artistic conception of "Zhuang Shengxiao dreaming of butterflies": reading all the floating life is originally a dream, and the world of mortals is in a hundred turns.
