Roses represent love and specifically white roses signify purity, innocence, new beginnings and deep emotional connection over passionate fiery romance. Butterflies symbolise beauty, fragility and the fleeting nature of our existence

The motto ‘I Settle’ serves to explain the carving. The butterfly has landed on the rose. And has chosen to stay. The rose provides nourishment and safety. There is no longer a need or desire for a mad dash around the garden flitting from bloom to bloom seeking sustenance in survival mode. Because the butterfly has found the rose and can, now, finally relax

This is not ‘settling’ as we most commonly use the verb today as in to make do with something, accept something flawed or broadly good enough. Quite the contrary, this is about the relief of having found your person. Someone steady, beautiful and who nourishes you. Someone reliable.

‘I Settle’ is a recognition and a gratitude for safe stable reliable love with your partner. The contentment and relaxation that safe steady love affords. The happy knowledge that you are never going to have to look elsewhere ever again because you have your person. You can finally relax, finally rest, finally breathe, finally feel safe. You know you are safe enough to settle.
