TRANSFORMATION Pascal Lacroix In my life I have been through many transformations, but never could it equal the transformation of the butterfly. Being that we are working with jewelry I imagined the birth of this marvel of nature out of your ring. We can all picture a butterfly landing on your hand; why not witness it being born under your eyes. When you look under the wings, you will see the remnants of the metamorphosis. Beautiful as the renewal may be, like the butterfly, we leave it behind in our flight to new discoveries. At times our transformations are very subtle, and the platinum lends itself so well for its representation through the shades of white it offers. In my eyes those variations of light embrace the essence of the butterfly. May we all soar in joy. 54
