The butterfly wing is set in a large vintage style setting with sparkling clear Swarovski crystals and comes in your choice of antique silver (as pictured), antique gold, or black gunmetal. Your choice of short 18" chain (as pictured) to rest on upper chest or long 30" chain. Upgrades to real Sterling Silver are also available!

The Emperor Morpho Butterfly, also known as Morpho Peleides, is part of the “Blue Morpho” family and originates from Paraguay. The wings are a brilliant shimmering light blue with black edges. 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. The Emperor Morpho lives in the rainforest and drinks the juices from tropical fruit such as mango and kiwi.

Each piece will arrive in its own 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!
