Lepidoptera Ciel & Rêve

A celebration of delicate movement and personal identity, Lepidoptera Ciel & Rêve turns the language of nature into jewellery. This signature-cut necklace places a name centrally between two wings, so the letters become the bridge that connects a pair of butterfly silhouettes. The result is an elegant balance of form and sentiment: the name is integral to the design rather than applied as an afterthought.

Two distinct styles allow the piece to wear differently while keeping the same poetic idea. The Ciel version features bold, filled wings that frame the name with presence. It reads confidently and registers at a glance, making it ideal when you want your personalised piece to be clearly seen. The Rêve version is lighter in spirit; the wings are outlined and airy, offering a quieter, more delicate contour that floats around the name. Both styles share the same structural intent: to make the personalised name the focal point, with wings that amplify meaning without competing for attention.

Crafted from stainless steel, the necklace is designed for daily wear. Stainless steel provides durability and a stable base for plating, so the piece resists tarnish and keeps its refined appearance through regular use. Choose between Gold or Silver plating to set the tone. Gold imparts warmth and a classic, jewellery-like glow. Silver reads modern and crisp, a cleaner companion for contemporary wardrobes. Both finishes are applied carefully so the plated surface complements the signature cut and the sculptural wings.

Personalisation is generous yet considered. With a 12-character limit, the design preserves proportion and legibility while allowing full names, double-barrelled names in shortened form, or meaningful words. Because the name is part of the silhouette, spacing and letter weight are adjusted to ensure each commission reads clearly and sits comfortably within the wings. This careful balance prevents letters from feeling cramped or over-extended and keeps the piece both beautiful and wearable.

Wearability is central to the necklace’s purpose. The pendant sits naturally at the centre of the neckline, with the wings extending gently to either side so the piece reads across the collarbone. The edges where letters meet wing forms are smoothed to avoid snagging and to ensure comfort against the skin. The overall weight is balanced to feel present without weighing down the neck, so the necklace transitions easily from day to evening.

Styling options are flexible and immediate. The Ciel style works beautifully when you want a bold, visible personal statement; it complements simple tees and open shirts as well as smarter separates. The Rêve style, with its lighter lines, pairs elegantly with soft fabrics and layered necklines where subtlety is preferred. Both styles layer well with other necklaces when you want a curated, editorial look; the centre-name structure makes the piece an excellent anchor for mixed-length stacks.

This design is particularly suited to gifting. A name bounded by wings carries a clear narrative: freedom, protection, transformation, and care. Whether marking a birthday, a new chapter, a graduation or a sentimental token between friends and partners, Lepidoptera Ciel & Rêve works as a considered keepsake. Presentation is intentional: each necklace is prepared in Visoire packaging so the moment of giving feels complete.

Care and longevity are straightforward. The stainless steel base resists corrosion, but to maintain the plated finish avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and chlorinated water. Remove the necklace for heavy manual tasks and during activities likely to cause impact. Restore surface sheen with a soft polishing cloth as required. With sensible care, the plated finish remains bright and the signature cut continues to read crisply.

Production is made to order with careful proofing of every personalised layout. Letter spacing and balance are checked so the inscription integrates with the wing forms and maintains the necklace’s visual harmony. The finished piece is inspected for plating consistency and comfortable finishing before it is dispatch ready.

Lepidoptera Ciel & Rêve lives in the Visoire Luxe collection and the Necklaces & Pendants category, intended for everyday wearing and casual occasions where personal detail is the differentiator. It is jewellery for people who want their name to be both a motif and a message, a piece that looks refined, reads personal and feels like it was made to be worn every day.
