Natural Jade
Jade or "Yu" in Chinese is a protective stone guarding against accidents and misfortune. It will also bring good fortune and good health to the wearer. Jade is especially popular with the Chinese. Most jade comes from China and Burma and are hand-carved by craftsmen in China. Colours can vary from shades of greens to lilac to brown hues.
Madame Butterfly’s jade pieces are carefully selected for their natural beauty and carving details. The pieces are then handmade into exquisite jewelry pieces with a combination of other gemstones and pearls.

Cinnabar
This collection is named after the mineral cinnabar which in the early years was used for its red pigment to colour Chinese carved lacquer ware. However this is no longer used and red dyes are used instead to colour the wood resin beads. Chinese tradition believes that red brings good luck and fortune, and moreover red is also a popular accent colour to wear. In this collection, cinnabar beads are mixed with gemstones, pearls or crystals.

Clothing
The Cheongsam or "Qipao" in Mandarin is the traditional dress for Chinese women, with its stand-up collar and body hugging silhouette, evoking elegance and sophistication to the wearer. With strong interest in all things Chinese in recent years because of China’s rising presence and power in the world, the cheongsam has gained popularity as a form of dressing. Depending on the type of fabric, finishing and length, cheongsams can look smart for day wear or dressed up for any formal occasion. The traditional oriental details of cheongsams are also used for tops in our collections which are popular as they are more wearable.
