Butterfly Effect Small Pendant

The “butterfly effect” is the idea that a single small action one may deem insignificant can eventually create massive impact. The concept is illustrated by the example of a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. Of course, one isolated action by the butterfly isn’t directly responsible for a natural disaster, but the idea asserts that even the most seemingly inconsequential action can set off a chain reaction leading to greater results. 

Designer Jamie Books sees this concept as a metaphor for life, signifying that each small change we make accumulates to a much more significant state. Or, that every journey begins with a single step. 

The new Butterfly Effect collection explores this idea with Books’ signature color and whimsy. She employs her favored tonal gemstone color combinations and mixed media design in pendant necklaces, earrings, and rings. A playful butterfly motif joins the Mason and Books menagerie, while hearts and geometric shapes round out the assortment. The collection is an instant mood lift, conveying positive energy and endless possibility.    

As we can often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of what we are expected to do between our careers, families, and relationships, the Butterfly Effect talismans remind us that just crossing one thing off our lists, or by taking one small, positive action, we can set off on the path to lead our most authentic lives.
