May 2018 Of the Moment: Butterflies

Flowers and trees are in bloom, and the air is heavy with the scent of lilacs and irises. Spring in the high desert is a season of renewal and regeneration. More than any other creature, the butterfly is the perfect symbol of the season.
Is it any wonder that Native artists found inspiration in the world around them, and rendered representations of these creatures in precious stones and metals? Zuni artists created exquisite mosaics of inlaid stones and shells while Navajo smiths formed silver to fit their visions of butterflies.
This week, we give you a Spring collection for Of the Moment, where you can see the butterflies coming to rest their wings on your fingers, wrists and lapels.
