Butterflies for Friday

Butterflies symbolize resurection...not only for Christians during Easter but wear one now in solidarity and hope for Japan's rebuilding and renaissance.

I've had a lot of Alex Monroe stuff lately on this blog- but I love it.  It's more dainty and sweet than my usual preference, but his craftmanship is superlative.  And, repeating myself, he's donating some of his procedes to relief for Japan; go to http://www.alexmonroe.com/.  Alexis Bittar is donating 100% at http://www.alexisbittar.com/.  At that site, go to his blog for more information.

For those who express themselves more flamboyantly (more my usual style):

From Dior's fine jewelry line.  They have a great sense of humor and fun over at Dior- check them out at www.diorjoaillerie.com/jewelry.html.   

Anyone else notice the ring is Lentan purple? Do you think they designed the ring to have a symbolic communication of sacrifice and resurection?  Naaaaahhhh- I doubt it.  But that does not mean it is not there!
