Butterfly Thoughts

Hi there. It's Sunday and Janice is off doing what Sundays are for, time with OH, cooking a Sunday Roast and enjoying walking without snow underfoot :)

So I thought I'd tell you a bit about myself.

I was born in Austria at the Swarovski factory, the best place in the world for any crystal to be conceived.
My butterfly shape is flawless with facets that catch the light and sparkle sending rainbows across a room. Some of the light bounces inside me and creates a myriad of internal reflections so I look like there is more of me on the inside than the outside. A bit like a TARDIS for any Doctor Who fans :)

I was packaged up with 71 of my siblings and then sent out to Jangill Designs in the UK.
This is where I was transformed into the unique butterfly with glorious colours. All 72 of us are hand painted with different shades so that we are now a little bit different to each other. It's great to be an individual just like you :)

After painting we are warmed up so that our new coats never fade or wash off. You could even put us in the dishwasher, but I'd rather you didn't - Sterling doesn't like it!

Sterling is the Chain and bail that carries me. He's chosen for his quality and beauty too. Janice says there is no point getting something cheaper to carry me because then I might not be so well loved, just for the sake of a few extra pounds.

Now I'm sitting in a lovely box, ready to make someone very happy. Maybe I will be a birthday present or a Mother's day gift. Or perhaps someone will love me enough to send to someone special for Valentine's day. Whichever, I can't wait to fly again, enjoy the light and be treasured.



Why not have a look on Janice's website, Jangill Jewellery or say hello on facebook where you can win one of us for just liking the page Jangill Designs. She has also just started on Pinterest as Artisanjan
