Images are AI-generated renders of the design, not photographs of your cast piece — which is made to order in solid 925 sterling silver to this same design.
A pair of butterflies caught mid-rest, wings washed in soft lilac enamel and edged in gold. Each hangs from a small gold huggie hoop with a single round lab-created amethyst set at its heart. Named for the old word for a chrysalis — the gold a butterfly wears before it opens.
From The Otherworld — Duskgild's light register. Every pair is cast in solid 925 sterling silver and plated in gold: the gold is a finish and the silver underneath is real, never plated brass. One round lab-created amethyst sits at each center, the wings filled with lilac enamel. Its kin is the Metamorphosis butterfly ring — the same wings, turned toward the hand.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- Every stone is lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- Gold is a finish over real silver. The gold or rose-gold is plating over the sterling — never a hidden karat claim, never plated brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The gold is plating over solid sterling, only microns thick, and worn every day it will thin where it rubs. The 925 underneath is solid.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by September 23 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Aurelia hangs from a small hinged huggie so the butterflies sway when you turn your head, the lilac enamel catching warm and the little stones flashing at each heart. Sold as a pair, left and right facing each other — the soft edge of the Otherworld, worn at the ear.
