Real Morpho Butterfly Wing Bejeweled Necklace

✨DETAILS✨🔽
★ The dazzling iridescence of the Morpho Sulkowski butterfly is truly spectacular! I have handcrafted this necklace from a REAL Morpho Sulkowski Butterfly wing embedded under a large 1.2" x 1.6" magnified glass cabochon and set in an antique silver victorian style setting with Swarovski crystals. (See below for more info on how I ethically obtain the wings!)

The Morpho Sulkowski Butterfly, also known as the “holograph morpho” or the “pearl morpho”, is rather rare and found only in Peru. The wings are a brilliantly iridescent pearl color that shimmers in shades of lavender to light blue to yellow depending on how the light hits them. The color in the butterfly's wings is caused by the diffraction of the light from millions of tiny scales on its wings. It uses this to frighten away predators, by flashing its wings rapidly.

Chains come in your choice of short 18" or long 30". I recommend these on the long 30" chains since they are larger pendants. You may choose from a standard silver plated chains or upgrades to Real Sterling Silver chain in your choice of style, LINK or BEAD. All chains shown in the 4th photo.

Each piece with arrive in a 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!
