The Orient of Wings Earrings

$148.00

Butterflies have an extremely romantic association in Chinese culture, with one of its earlier mentions in ‘Butterfly Dreaming’ of Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi. One of the most iconic Chinese romance epic is the Butterfly Lovers, where two star-crossed lovers transformed into butterflies to reunite after death. It is a symbol of transformation, strength and love.

Adapted from the unique feather inlay traditions of ancient Chinese, we opted to use peacock feathers for its iridescence and its deep, intense colours.

There are three different types of feather colours to choose from:

Emerald: Predominantly various shades of green.

Opal: A wonderful play of colours with greens, blues and turquoise and occasionally some yellows. Pretty much like opal that’s without its reds.

Sapphire: Mainly deep, rich, intense blue.

The feathers are iridescent and would change under different lightings.
