Butterfly Ring – Hand-Carved in Wax | Symbol of Transformation

🦋 Updated Product Description

A symbol of transformation — carved, cast, and crowned in aquamarine.

This butterfly ring captures the essence of change — a story of emergence, delicately shaped by hand. Beginning with a quiet block of wax, the wings are carefully carved to evoke motion and renewal, then cast in solid 18K gold using the lost-wax method, an ancient technique known for its precision and soulfulness.

At its heart rests a natural aquamarine, set by hand. Known as the stone of calm and clarity, aquamarine enhances the ring’s message: that change, though uncertain, brings light.

"Every transformation begins with a vision."
In this first stage, the design of the butterfly wing is hand-sketched on paper. With a simple blade and a block of blue wax by its side, the idea takes form — setting the foundation for a ring that symbolizes change, growth, and freedom.

"Carving life into wax."
At this stage, the butterfly wing is sculpted in depth. Using a rotary carving tool, I begin shaping texture and movement into the wax — a dance of pressure, precision, and patience. Each curve is intentional, capturing the energy of wings about to take flight.

In the last stages of wax work, each groove is sharpened, each curve made intentional. This is where the soul of the wing is finalized — ready to be reborn in gold.

Here, the wax ring is assembled. The sculpted butterfly wing and the bezel for the aquamarine are united — one symbolizing motion, the other clarity. The structure is now ready for transformation through fire and metal.
