I like to look like pretty, shiny things. I get easily distracted and sometimes I think I am part moth or butterfly because shiny things just draw my attention. Thankfully, I am human because otherwise the [Van Cleef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bejeweled-solar-system-set) and Arpels butterfly watch would be my demise.

These babies are made out of enamel, but look almost exactly like stained glass. Plus, the case is all white gold with [diamond-studded bezel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-altiplano-skeleton-mtiers-dart) and lugs. How about you go pick me up a Van Cleef and Arpels butterfly watch? Thanks!
