Description

This stunning necklace is made with a real Blue Morpho butterfly (Scientific name: Morpho Alexandrovna) Read more below about how I ethically obtain the wings! The wings are expertly embedded under a 30x40mm magnified glass cabochon and set in silver tone metal (as pictured), yellow gold tone, bronze, or a gunmetal setting. You may also choose between a short 18" chain or a long 30" chain. Upgrades to real sterling silver chains or real 14k gold filled chains are also available! 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! The Morpho Alexandrovna Butterfly (also known as the "Blue Morpho") is found in the rainforest in countries such as Peru & Brazil. The wings are an intense iridescent metallic blue in color that changes depending on how the light hits them. *NOTE* My wings come from butterflies that have been raised on butterfly farms & conservatories and allowed to live their full lifespan, which naturally averages about 2-4 weeks and are then collected and preserved 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 as opposed to clearing land for cash crops. Raising and selling insects is the only incentive many indigenous people have to save their tropical forests. I am proud to be a member of the RAINFOREST ALLIANCE! I support and donate to the Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the rainforest and the thousands of species living in it, including the Blue Morpho Butterfly!
