    "Butterfly Moon Earrings" and all First Nations Gallery jewelry is made on reservation land, located in what is known as North Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Recognized for its short and dramatic life cycle, the Butterfly is often symbolic of change and renewal in Northwest Coast artwork (Dawkins). In some Haida stories, Butterfly is Raven’s companion who leads Raven to food sources or uncovers the hiding places of treasure and luck (Shearar).

    Butterfly is a minor crest figure and sometimes appears simply as decoration because of its beauty and grace. The Butterfly is an increasingly popular symbol in Northwest Coast jewellery. Some artists such as Robert Davidson and Susan Point, for example, have created modern aesthetic innovations of Butterfly motifs in their work (Shearar).
