About this design

This cross is built around a clean vertical spine and controlled ornament, with the butterfly detail integrated so it feels part of the structure, not pasted on. The dangling bead elements add movement without clutter, making it practical for artists to size down for subtle placements or scale up to a mid-size statement while keeping the linework sharp.

Meaning & vibe

This piece reads like contrast on purpose, a structured cross paired with a butterfly element that shifts it into something more personal. The overall look stays modern and graphic, not sweet, with detail that feels intentional rather than busy.
