Butterflies are both fragile and fierce creatures. To become fully themselves, they have to literally break out of confinement, unfurl their never-before-used wings, and take flight into their new reality. A journey of self-liberation, something we find both poignant and inspiring. So, Waxing Poetic designed their Unbound Butterfly necklace to signify both transformation and freeing oneself. Cast in sterling silver, accented with a brass central motif reminiscent of a segment of barbed wire (meant to represent the challenges we have or have yet to overcome), their butterfly is situated at the center of a hand-crafted sterling silver loop link chain, her sterling silver wings spread defiantly as she takes flight. The reverse adorned with small crystals and etched with UNBOUND.
