Jewelry designer Jean Schlumberger was inspired by the world around him, including nature in all of its forms. He shared this love of the natural world with Rachel Lambert Mellon, a friend to VMFA, who was a talented gardener and landscape designer. This butterfly bracelet is part of a pair he designed for Mrs. Mellon. Tiny springs attached to the insects help make them move!
