CHERISHED COLLECTION (A MEDITATION ON TIME):

This piece is part of the "CHERISHED" collection. While crafting this piece I, Loreen the maker, meditated and asked the universe to allow us each more time to play, rest, and experience joy. May you forget time as a limitation and accept it as a gift. Let this necklace be a reminder that to be present is to be in love and that you are lovable and cherished.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece handmade in the USA from a vintage Swarovski crystal chain set with rose opal rhinestones between gold leaves, vintage brass floral lever backs, and real butterflies that have passed away naturally after living a long full life. All butterflies are real and are laminated in a high-quality UV lamination sheet to protect the specimens from sun/water damage and to give them strength for daily wear. The butterflies used in this art may come with damaged wings, scratches, or other imperfections. This is an indicator that the butterfly was allowed to live its natural life cycle and here at Vêtu we celebrate these character marks. This shop has a mission to reduce waste and although it can not be a zero-waste, plastic-free, shop entirely, the commitment is to always be conscious of ways to minimize waste. 90% of the hardware used in the making of these pieces is not "new" but is as good as new. I hope this piece will live a long life with you and possibly generations to come, but should it not, please inquire about the 'Reuse Program' where you can turn in pieces that no longer serve you for rewards and discounts. This shop wants to be a part of making circular fashion the standard.

I, Loreen, the maker and owner of this shop, make these pieces to connect people with nature, themselves, and others in a way that feels beautiful, kind, and buying magical. Each piece is crafted in intention, prayer, and love and comes with a handwritten letter expressing these sentiments. You are worthy, you are sacred, and you are good. I hope my pieces honor the best in you and live with you through life's stories.
