Butterfly White Embera Earrings

With over 3,642 butterfly species found in Colombia (the world's largest variety) it was high time to add them to our line. It truly is a mariposa paradise! Around the world, butterflies have functional and spiritual significance. Physically, they play a fundamental role in pollination and feeding other animals. Symbolically, Garden with Wings writes, they signify "spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life. The magnificent, yet short life of the butterfly closely mirrors the process of spiritual transformation and serves to remind us that life is short."
