Description
“Close your eyes,” he said, and she did, in the middle of the Luxembourg Gardens, while the fountain splashed and the children sailed their wooden boats. When she opened them, a blue butterfly had landed on her shoulder. It stayed for a heartbeat, then two, then fluttered off over the flower beds. He had planned to give her a ring that afternoon. Instead he just laughed and said, “Well, now I know it is the right day.”
This blue and gold heart, decorated with floral motifs, rests on a brass butterfly stand, poised as though it might take flight at any moment. It is a graceful gift for an anniversary, a wedding, Mother’s Day, or simply for someone you love. On a dressing table or a bedside shelf, it becomes a little sculpture of affection, and inside there is room for a ring or a precious keepsake. The gleam of the brass against the blue makes it lovely in candlelight.
