These delicate Cocoon earrings honor transformation's most intimate whisper - the suspended moment before emergence when everything is possible but nothing is yet visible. At 1.25 inches, two inverted butterfly wings overlap to create a subtle, sculptural design that rests close and moves gently with you. The dimensional curves create soft shadows that shift as you move, a private reminder that your most profound changes are happening in stillness, in that tender chrysalis space between who you were and who you're becoming. Choose bright sterling silver, oxidized sterling silver, or Keum-boo for warm 24K gold against deep black silver.

Bright and Oxidized Sterling Silver: Each piece is carefully hand-finished - polished or patinated to rich black and edged - then sealed to maintain its intended character and prevent tarnish.

Keum-boo is an ancient Korean gilding technique dating back 3,000 years. Each design uses pure 24K gold carefully applied to the silver surface, then heated and burnished until the molecules permanently fuse together - creating a bond that won't flake or wear away. I source my gold specifically from suppliers who specialize in Keum-boo sheet, ensuring the highest quality and lasting brilliance. Because of this monarch design's intricate details, every piece is a true labor of love requiring patience and precision. The result is remarkably resilient and maintains its warm luster permanently with proper care. Shadow meets radiance with oxidized silver and brilliant 24K gold edges.

Earwire Options:
14K gold-filled ear wires - Gold-filled is 14K gold permanently bonded to a base metal - not plated. The thick gold layer won't wear off and is hypoallergenic, offering lasting beauty at an accessible price.

14K gold ear wire - 14K gold is a solid gold alloyed with other metals for added durability, 58.3% pure gold. It's hypoallergenic, won't tarnish, and maintains its warm luster permanently—the gold standard for fine jewelry that lasts generations.

14K Gold Care
Your 14K gold jewelry won't tarnish and requires minimal care to stay beautiful.

Home Cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

BRIGHT STERLING SILVER
Silver is durable and meant to be worn. In fact, wearing it regularly helps prevent tarnish. Your piece is sealed to prevent natural oxidation, but sterling silver will eventually develop some tarnish over time - it's just what silver does. The good news? It's easy to restore.

Cleaning:
When you notice any tarnish, simply polish with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore the shine. For textured areas, a soft brush with warm soapy water works well. Dry thoroughly.

Diamonds: Carefully clean with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip or soft toothbrush

Whatever the finish, your jewelry is durable and meant to be worn - enjoy it and it'll stay beautiful.

Artist's Statement

The Imaginal Cell Butterfly Collection

When a caterpillar experiences metamorphosis, it must first come to terms with its mortality. Amorphous cells, known as Imaginal Cells, multiply within the chrysalis, impervious to the caterpillar’s immune system. When the Imaginal Cells finally reach critical mass, the defeated caterpillar accepts its mortal fate, and metamorphosis begins. At this point, the newly awakened cells band together, transform, and become the mysterious creature that we know as “butterfly.”

The Imaginal Cell Collection honors the transformative, creative process of not knowing. Sometimes we must let go of the traditional constructs we “understand” to discover something new and beautiful within ourselves. This body of work deconstructs the geometric forms of the iconic monarch wing, transforming them into unexpected patterns and celebrating nature’s symmetry.

We are the sum of our own imaginations. Letting go is the seed to metamorphosis.
