Last days of summer

If you can’t go to the seaside, than bring the sea to you! Just imagine that you’re on the beach, feeling the warm touch of the sun and looking at the blue water. You can see a sailing boat in the distance. The sand underneath your feet is so soft and the seashells shine in the sun. There is so much calm around you and yet so much thrill in the sea.

Do you see yourself in this picture? If it's difficult to visualize it, than let me help you. You can create your own puzzle with the jewels below.

Butterfly effect

I presume you've already figured out that I’m not referring to the scientific explanation of the title, but to the impact that a piece of jewelry like the ones shown below has on the wearer and others.

I totally agree with Van Cleef & Arpels’s belief that butterflies embody lightness, elegance, and femininity. As I said in a previous post, nature provides great inspiration to all of us.
