Real Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly Wing Pocket Watch Necklace Working Timepiece

✨DETAILS✨🔽
★ I have handmade this gorgeous pocketwatch necklace with a real Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly wing embedded under magnified glass! (Read more about how I ethically obtain the butterfly wings below!). This is a working pocketwatch that flips open to expose the clock inside! This gorgeous antique style pocket watch (in your choice of antique gold (as pictured) or antique silver) measures 1.5 inches x 2 inches and is on a long 30 inchchain. Comes with watch battery already installed.

The Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly, also known by its scientific name "Battus Philenor", is found in the forests of North & Central America. They feed on the flower nectar of lilacs, azaleas, bergamot, viper's bugloss, yellow star thistle, & wild ginger. Their wings are a metallic steely blue with cute orange & black spots.

This listing is for 1 necklace. Each piece will arrive in its own custom gift pouch, ready to gift or keep, with literature on the species of butterfly, and a free die-cut sticker or magnet!

*NOTE* No Butterflies are harmed in the making of my jewelry! All butterflies are raised on butterfly farms and sanctuaries and allowed to live their full lifespan, which averages about 1 month, and then collected and sold so that their beauty can live on! Butterfly Farming actually helps to preserve rain forests and also assures the survival of natural butterfly habitats. Native people are encouraged to grow plants and raise insects opposed to clearing land for cash crops. I am a member of and donate to the Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the Rainforest and the many species that live within it, including the Blue Morpho Butterfly!
