DescriptionFew of the Golden Sun Drops Butterfly Amulet Necklaces were birthed into existence. Each individual Baltic Amber Butterfly Necklace is totally unique and when they are gone they are gone!In Slavic folklore the butterfly was believed to be the shape assumed by the soul after death. It was also thought that slavic vampires appeared as butterflies, echoing the belief of the butterfly symbolizing a departed soul. When a vampire was impaled, witnesses would watch anxiously for the appearance of a butterfly around the grave. This would indicate that the vampire was trying to avoid its destruction. Some spoke of “living vampires” or “people with two souls”, a kind of witch capable of leaving its body and engaging in harmful and vampiric activity while sleeping.Baltic Amber Jewellery is associated with time, cycles, and longevity. As it was once a living substance, it’s elated to spirit. These Amulets were worn for protection, to avert misfortune, and to keep one safe from black magic.
