Real Pearl Morpho Butterfly Wing Baroque Necklace

✨DETAILS✨🔽
★ This unique pendant is handmade using a REAL Morpho Sulkowski butterfly wing! (Read below for more on how I ethically obtain the wings!) This gorgeous real butterfly wing necklace is perfect for a special occasion like a fairytale wedding or as a christmas gift for your favorite nature lover! The butterfly wing is expertly embedded under a large 1.2" x 1.6" magnified glass cabochon in your choice of antique silver or antique gold. The butterfly wing is then set in your choice of antique silver or antique brass. An upgrade to a Sterling Silver chain is also available!

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 white 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.

Each piece will arrive in its own gift pouch with literature on the species of butterfly!

*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!
