Butterfly Vessel begins with a poetic image from its source name: a small vessel carrying the soul of a butterfly. Made in 999 fine silver, the pendant’s bottle-like silhouette is softened by a linear-drawn surface that turns light into a cool, quiet grain. Handmade in Xinhua Village, Heqing, Dali, it is a small talisman for transition, delicacy and what is held close but unseen.

✦Silver Care
999 fine silver naturally oxidizes, tarnishes, or softens in shine over time. Humidity, perspiration, air, and sulfur-containing substances can speed this process. Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, bathing, exercising, or applying perfume, lotion, chlorine, or household cleaners. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately in a dry, moisture-resistant pouch. Light oxidation can be refreshed with a polishing cloth made for silver jewelry; avoid abrasive cleaners or vigorous rubbing, especially over handmade textures.
