Alora is for everyone who loves butterflies but not only. It’s an amazing bangle, available in two colours, waterproof, hypoallergenic as well as tarnish free. 

The butterfly is a powerful and widespread symbol, primarily representing transformation, hope, and new beginnings. This symbolism is deeply rooted in its life cycle, from caterpillar to chrysalis and finally, the winged adult. 🦋
Key Symbolic Meanings
* Transformation and Rebirth: The most well-known meaning. The metamorphosis from a crawling caterpillar to a beautiful, flying butterfly is a universal metaphor for personal growth, spiritual awakening, and significant life changes.
* The Soul and the Spirit: In many cultures, the butterfly is linked to the human soul or spirit. The ancient Greek word for both "butterfly" and "soul" is psyche, a connection that has persisted through time. The emergence of the butterfly from its chrysalis can symbolize the liberation of the soul from the body after death.
* Hope and Joy: Because of their bright colors and delicate, dancing flight, butterflies are often seen as messengers of hope, joy, and freedom. They can be a reminder to embrace lightness and not take life too seriously.
* Love and Romance: In some cultures, particularly in East Asia, a pair of butterflies is a symbol of enduring love, happy marriage, and fidelity. The Chinese folktale "The Butterfly Lovers" is a classic example of this symbolism.
Cultural Interpretations
* Ancient Greece: Associated with the soul (psyche) and the goddess of the soul, who is often depicted with butterfly wings.
* Christianity: The three stages of the butterfly's life cycle (caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly) are seen as a powerful metaphor for life, death, and resurrection.
* Native American Cultures: Butterflies are often viewed as messengers from the spirit world, bringing guidance, comfort, and positive change. The Monarch butterfly's annual migration, for example, is linked to the return of departed souls in Mexican folklore.
* China and Japan: Butterflies symbolize love, long life, and beauty. A pair of butterflies often represents conjugal bliss. In Japan, a single white butterfly can represent the soul of the deceased.
