Description:

Seven years ago, I lost my necklace that I had cherished so much. The necklace is composed of a 18K yellow gold chain and a little butterfly pendant charm. The butterfly charm is not a solid chunk of gold but a flat sculpture with delicate cutouts like a net. Its wings are made of beautifully curved lines which constitute a butterfly shape on the whole. The chain is a ball chain. The size of the ball is small. If I might be extremely fortunate to find the necklace, I would wear it everyday and run around here and there so that the butterfly can literally fly.
