Around 3500 years ago, butterflies were the focus of a lot of art forms, especially in the Egyptian Hieroglyphics, which continues to go strong even till today. In the field of making some of the most sparkling pins or pendants, shiny charms, dangling earrings in jewelry designs, this particular art subject continues to enjoy popularity. Many people are able to find more significant beauty and deeper meaning in the shinny, shimmery insects, in comparison to any other living creature on this earth. In Greek terminology, the term used for butterfly can be translated as ‘mind’ or ‘soul’. Very often the butterfly is considered a symbol of free spirit.
A very old Chinese story tells about two lovers, which are not entirely dissimilar to Juliet and Romeo, who were considered as Butterfly Lovers. As per the story, these two lovers were not allowed to be with each other and hence they chose to die rather than live without each other’s company. In the twist of the story, the weeping, sad and lonely heroine throws herself into her lover’s grave out of true love and from then on both these lovers turned into butterflies so that they both could live with each other, in happiness for ever.
