Real Pearl Morpho Sulkowski Butterfly Wing Vintage Style Necklace

✨DETAILS✨🔽
★ The iridescence and brilliance of these butterfly wings is amazing! This dazzling necklace is handcrafted from a REAL Morpho Sulkowski Butterfly wing under a large magnified glass cabochon (read below for more on how I ethically obtain the wings!). The butterfly wing is set in your choice of an antique gold (as pictured), antique silver, or gunmetal vintage style setting with sparkling clear Swarovski crystals. Your choice of chain length (18" short or 30" long) with upgrades to Sterling silver available with the silver pendant option. The pendant measures approximately 1.75" x 2.5"

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.

Each piece will arrive in a custom gift bag 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!
