This Cocoon necklace honors transformation's most mysterious phase - the suspended moment before emergence when everything is possible but nothing is yet visible. Two inverted butterfly wings overlap to create an abstract 1-inch pendant that reveals its secret gradually, only to those who look closely. The dimensional design casts subtle shadows that shift with your movement, creating intrigue without demanding attention. At 18 inches with a 2-inch extension, it rests at your collarbone or layers beautifully - quiet enough to become part of your daily uniform, meaningful enough to mark the season of becoming.

Sterling Silver ~ Classic elegance with timeless appeal

Bright and Oxidized Sterling Silver is carefully hand-finished, polished or darkened 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. Every piece is a true labor of love requiring patience and precision.

Gold Accents:
14k 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 - This is a solid gold alloyed with other metals for durability - 58.3% pure gold. It's hypoallergenic, won't tarnish, and maintains its warm luster permanently. The gold standard for fine jewelry, lasting generations.

CARE FOR ALL FINISHES
Remove Before Sleep
Taking your jewelry on and off becomes a sweet daily ritual - a moment to honor both the piece and yourself.

What to Skip:
Put on Jewelry after applying lotions, perfumes, hairspray or makeup. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and extended exposure to water.

BRIGHT STERLING SILVER
Your piece is sealed to prevent oxidation, but sterling silver will eventually develop some tarnish over time - it's just what silver does. If you notice tarnish, simply rub with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore the shine.

OXIDIZED STERLING SILVER
Your piece features a dramatic black oxidized finish that's been sealed to preserve the rich, dark patina. Although it's sealed, avoid touching the bright silver edges.
Cleaning: Wipe edges gently with a soft, polishing cloth. Do not use silver polish - it will remove the black finish. Pat dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.

KEUM-BOO
I source my gold from specialized Keum-boo suppliers, ensuring the highest quality and lasting brilliance.
Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use silver polish - it will remove the oxidized finish. For deeper cleaning, use only warm water with mild soap. Pat dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.

For Diamonds or Gemstones: Carefully clean with rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth, avoiding the oxidized areas.

That's it. Wear your jewelry, 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.
