The butterfly is an important symbol in different cultures.
It symbolizes a physical and even more the soul transformation!
Butterflies are associate with soul, faith, lightness, love and luck (China) and freedom.

You can wear these black onyx earrings everyday when you need a little help, when you are feeling down or give them as a gift for any occasion.
