The description of this before I purchased itwas a little confusing. I thought by reading it that the butterfly wings separated but somehow stayed attached somewhere.  When I received the item it was in two pieces and I had to get a hold of the seller to make sure it wasn't broken.  I just wasn't expecting it to be in two pcs.  Other than that it is a very nice piece.  It is very well made with very sturdy/heavy metal/stainless.  It is a very pretty piece with very fine detailing and ruby's on each wing.  I definitely recommend this cute little butterfly. It definitely stands out amongst the rest of the beads on a bracelet. Now I understand you probably split it for two people if you want. One for daughter and one for mom, or not.
