The word Imaginal comes from the incredible journey of the butterfly. Imaginal cells are responsible for transforming the caterpillar to a butterfly during the chrysalis stage. This journey of renewal inspired this line of jewelry pieces which have been created using vintage and repurposed beads and materials collected over the past 10 years.
