A Beautiful Butterfly Necklance from Lela Rose
Filed under Crystal + necklaces
Insects in general and butterflies in particular are extremely popular in jewelry designs right now. The problem with that is these designs can begin to become cliche, and it can be increasingly difficult to find a design and aesthetic which is truly innovative.
As it so happens, however, Texas native and jewelry designer Lela Rose brings a truly unique aesthetic to the world of butterfly designs. Rose is a graduate of the University of Colorado. She also attended the much famed Parsons School of Design in New York City. She launched her Lela Rose collection in 1998 — it was not jewelry, but rather consisted of dresses, jackets, and separates.
However, this soon evolved into jewelry which often went with her clothing pieces. For example, the Butterfly Necklace was designed to be paired with a simple and elegant summer dress. It is polished brass with black and olive cabochon, as well as crystals.
