From the sea, transformed into a butterfly — carved natural abalone wings framed in diamonds and set in 14K yellow gold.
This butterfly brings together two of nature’s most beautiful elements: luminous abalone shell from the sea and the delicate symbolism of transformation.
The wings are carved from natural abalone, revealing flashes of turquoise, green, blue, violet and gold that shift as the light moves across the surface. A diamond halo traces the wings, while additional diamonds accent the butterfly’s body and center.
What makes this piece so special is the contrast between the organic beauty of the shell and the refinement of fine jewelry. The abalone has an almost painterly quality, while the diamonds add light, structure and brilliance.
It is striking worn completely on its own, but also layers beautifully with gold chains, charms and other necklaces for a more collected look.
Because the abalone is natural, each wing has its own unique pattern, depth and iridescence. That individuality is part of the beauty of the piece.

Why I Love It
The abalone catches the light in the most extraordinary way, shifting from turquoise and emerald to violet, gold and deep ocean tones.
But the heart of the design is the transformation itself:
something from the sea becoming a butterfly.
It feels joyful, unexpected, artistic and entirely wearable.
Wear it alone as the focal point of your look or layer it with your favorite gold and diamond pieces.
Please Note
Abalone is a natural material, so subtle variations in color, pattern and iridescence are part of its beauty and make each piece distinctive.
