Details
This butterfly jewelry is hand made using real butterfly wings. The wings are encased in glass and framed with sterling silver by a co-operative of silversmiths. The wings are gathered from butterfly farms in Peru after the butterflies naturally die. Not only does this provide needed income for the farmers and silversmiths, it also helps prevent deforestation by offering alternative income in the Amazon, and education about delicate ecosystems, creating sustainability and helping preserve wild butterfly populations. No butterflies are harmed in its making.
