Have you ever seen a butterfly or tried to catch one when you were a kid? The sight of a butterfly fills the beholder with joy. Graceful and colorful, butterflies are creatures that give hope to the heart. Butterflies are known for their transformation from a caterpillar to a creature of extraordinary beauty. Hence most cultures in the world regard the butterfly as a symbol of transformation or a new life.

This transformation also occurs in a new couple's life as they prepare to shed their old lives as singles and step into the holy bond of matrimony. Many people believe that seeing a pair of butterflies often signifies true love. In some places it's also believed that if a butterfly sits on the shoulder of a person, then it's a sign of approaching fortune. Butterflies also signify delicacy and fragility of life since they are such delicate creatures. Hence the proverb "butterflies in the stomach" often means the anxiety while joining together in such a unique and delicate bond. Nowadays, many couples choose butterfly shaped jewelry to signify good luck and ever lasting love.

Butterflies are viewed by many people as a symbol of faith as well since the couple's life undergoes a big transformation after marriage. Often, many couples who have been going around and who love each become a bit different after marriage. They don't understand what changed and the relationship goes haywire. Here, having butterfly jewelry can make them realize that change is a way of life and that faith is the only constant in the world. A butterfly tells us that we need to change for the better and look at the positive side of our lives.

Most people regard the butterfly as a lucky charm because a butterfly survives through all the changes in its life and emerges victorious and more beautiful than ever before. Many people and cultures regard the butterfly as a symbol of undying love as well. For example in Greek mythology Psyche (meaning soul) is paired with Eros or the God of love. Psyche and Eros have been in love with each other and are always seen together. Hence, butterfly is a symbol of soul mates that love each other. Hence, wearing butterfly jeweler is actually a symbol of unending love and happiness. Many folks and fables depict butterflies to be associated with the fairy folks and hence magic. So, having a butterfly in your life in the form of a pendent or any other jewelry will surely ensure that magic happens in your life and love.

Wearing butterfly jewelry means that you intend to flutter through your life with happiness. The life of a butterfly actually tells us that patience always reaps a sweet fruit and guarantees a good life. A butterfly lives for the goal, the goal of transforming from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. It tells us to find the joy in the moment and not fret about the future.

p.s. Butterfly jewelry makes a great bridesmaid jewelry choice also!

Taking the time and effort to choose just the right pieces of jewelry for your bridal party is not only the perfect way to show your true appreciation for sharing in your most important day, but it will also give your attendants a rather special memento to treasure and remember always.

The very first thing you'll want to consider in your quest for finding beautiful jewelry for your bridal party is whether or not the pieces will be given solely as a token of your appreciation, or if you expect the attendants to wear their gifts for the ceremony. If you'll want all of the pieces worn during the wedding and reception, then you'll want to ensure they'll match or complement the overall theme or formality of the event as well as the dresses you've chosen.

As the bride, you'll also have to decide if you want each of the attendants pieces to match exactly, or if you'd rather coordinating pieces but each with subtle differences that make them uniquely their own.

A perfect example of unique but matching jewelry for the bridal party would be crystal necklaces in different but complementary colors, or necklaces of all the same crystal but in a different design, or pearls of varying sizes and designs. Cultured pearls will always be a timeless choice for wedding jewelry that exude a sense of classiness as well as romance.

Another good choice for your bridal attendant's jewelry is white or clear cubic zirconium (CZ) as it offers all of the sparkle and glamour of diamonds, but without the hefty price tag to match. And, gold and sterling silver will both always work well with any colors, style, or theme of wedding.

If your wedding colors are burgundy or red, you may want to consider choosing gems such as garnets or rubies or reddish Swarovski crystals, or if peach and beige are dominant in your color scheme, choose opals, clear crystals, or any gem with a neutral, understated hue.

Yet another option to consider when choosing your bridal party jewelry is to select pieces that everyone will be able to wear again for other occasions, unless they're intended to be held onto as keepsakes after the wedding, of course.

Necklaces are always a good choice for bridal party jewelry as the varying lengths available will fit everyone and regardless of hair length or styles, the necklace will be easy to see during the wedding, but do keep in mind the neckline of the gowns you and your bridesmaids will be wearing.

When choosing earrings be sure to find out in advance who has pierced ears and who will need the clip-on style. Also, when buying bracelets for your attendants, you'll want to be sure you know what size to select for each person.

In essence, the jewelry you choose for your bridal party should match your own sense of style as well as the formality of the ceremony, and also complement the attendant's attire.

Did you by chance catch pictures taken from the premier of "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button?" I absolutely LOVED the old world Hollywood glamour of the celebrities who attended the event and loved the celebrity jewelry even more!

Of course you have to begin with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Brad looked positively stunning in a tux while Angelina selected a beautiful black gown - no jewelry. The couple were perfectly in sync.

Who did I absolutely love, love, love?? JENNIFER LOPEZ! She always looks amazing but she was drop dead gorgeous in a plunging white gown with earrings only - no necklace. Taking a cue from Ms. Lopez, sometimes less is more and it's best to let the dress do all the talking. She could have worn chandelier earrings with this dress for more oomph but she was absolutely on the money without any other interference around the necklace.

5 Stars For Jennifer Lopez!
