Butterfly in the Morning Glow

The expression that the color gradually changes is one of the beauties unique to Japan. There are four seasons in Japan, and as the seasons change, the colors and shapes of beauty change. Such transitional beauty is one of the components of Japanese beauties.

This butterfly's pendant is jewelry with the above "gradation" expression. Only the amethyst, which changes from transparent color to purple, is used for this jewelry. A craftsman in Yamanashi Prefecture cut this amethyst.

On top of the amethyst, "a butterfly" that means "immortal" and "evolution" is flying.
