A Butterfly to Remember — The Meaning Behind Our Purple & Pink Pin
Some accessories are more than just beautiful—they carry stories, emotions, and quiet messages we can’t always say out loud. Our Purple & Pink Butterfly Enamel Pin is one of those rare pieces. Delicate and full of meaning, it has become a favorite for people honoring the memory of a loved one—especially cherished grandmothers who’ve left a deep mark on their hearts.
Why Butterflies Speak to the Soul
Across cultures and generations, butterflies have symbolized transformation, presence, and remembrance. There’s a long-held belief that when a butterfly appears, it carries the spirit of someone we’ve loved and lost. It’s a gentle reminder that they’re still with us—watching, guiding, whispering encouragement when we need it most.
That’s part of why this particular pin resonates so deeply. The vibrant shades of purple and pink evoke love, femininity, warmth, and wisdom—all the qualities we associate with the women who’ve shaped our lives.
The Colors: More Than Just Pretty
Color carries emotion, and the palette of this pin tells a story:

Together, they echo the essence of so many beloved grandmothers—strong yet soft, wise yet endlessly kind. Whether worn as a tribute or given as a keepsake, this butterfly holds the weight of memory with grace.

It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But it says something powerful: She’s still with me.
It’s also been a meaningful gift—something to offer a friend, sister, or mother going through loss. A quiet way of saying: I see your grief, and I honor it with you.

When Words Aren’t Enough
Grief doesn’t follow a script. It shows up quietly and lingers in unexpected ways. Sometimes, a physical symbol—a small, thoughtful token—can say what we don’t know how to put into words.
The Purple & Pink Butterfly is that symbol. It says, I miss you. I carry you with me. I still feel your love.
