When Inspiration

Takes Flight

ollectors value the influence
of jewelry to display power
C and wealth, but it can also
reveal personal taste and express
individuality. There’s something else
that we can’t overlook. Jewelry can
hold a cherished message known only
to its wearer.
Symbols of love and other
uplifting sentiments can also embody
a piece of jewelry that’s thoughtfully
crafted—providing a sense of pride or Butterfly necklace. Courtesy Toni Lynn Jewelry
comfort to its wearer.
by Diana Jarrett GG RMV Most people, whether they are .
jewelry enthusiasts or not, find the butterfly to be a captivating
symbol. A caterpillar creates its cocoon to isolate itself for a
period of time. (Don’t we all feel like doing that occasionally?)
When it finally emerges from its self-imposed quarantine it’s a
breathtakingly delicate butterfly—
as dazzling as any natural jewel from the earth.
Jewelry designer Karli Fabric of Toni Lynn Jewelry
(http://tonilynnjewelry.com) explores this theme with her latest
Butterfly Kisses collection. She explains, “The Butterfly Kisses
collection is our take on the classic butterfly.”
It has a universal message Karli finds. “Butterfly kisses are
a delicate gesture that represent an affectionate expression of
closeness. It's a way of expressing love without words and can
remind us that love can be light and full of wonder. Though
butterfly kisses can be gentle in nature, the impression they leave
can be everlasting.”
Karli’s story took on a deeper meaning when she lost her
mom to pancreatic cancer, but the sweet memories she left
endures forever. “Butterfly kisses hold special memories in my
heart. As a little girl, my mom would always give us butterfly
kisses and Eskimo kisses. I can still feel myself start to giggle
when I think about those memories.”
