IT’S A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

There is something so beautiful and majestic about the butterfly, and we love when those attributes are brought to life in pieces. This sterling silver split bar band cuff features two large turquoise stones as the wings and, in the center, a smaller stone as the body. Each of the larger stones is set in a simple bezel and detailed with a drop border. Large starburst drops and silver antennas bring the butterfly to life and Verdy Jake’s eye for beauty.
