Papillon de Nacre Mckella Earrings

Twin golden butterflies of 18k gold-plated stainless steel unfurl in quiet metamorphosis, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature in a permanent, tarnish-resistant form. The wings are not merely filled, but hand-carved from luminous mother-of-pearl, a material chosen for its profound depth and organic iridescence. As the light hits the nacre, it reveals shifting clouds of milky white, soft pink, and faint green, mimicking the ethereal quality of moonlight filtering through a secret Provençal garden at dusk.

The molten gold frames cradle these iridescent sails with protective tenderness, outlining the delicate organic shape with a bold, defining line of metal that recalls the precision of fine cloisonné or stained glass. This mirror-bright border enhances the stone's glow by providing a warm, reflective contrast to the cool, pearlescent interior. Sculptural yet tender, these earrings are rebirth distilled into radiance, a whispered pair of eternities worn against the pulse, serving as a daily totem of transformation and hope for the dreamer.
