Godart's Morpho Butterfly Earrings

Godart’s Morpho is a morpho butterfly. The name morpho is thought to have come from how these butterflies appear to change shape as they fly. Godart’s Morpho was named to honor French entomologist Jean Baptiste Godart. This beautiful blue metallic winged butterfly hails from Peru and Bolivia.

These sterling silver earrings are made with real Godart’s Morpho butterfly wings, collected sustainably by an indigenous community in Peru after the butterflies' natural life cycle has been completed. Afterwards, the wings are carefully set into sterling silver bezels, allowing you to see both sides of the butterfly’s wing. Your purchase of this butterfly wing jewelry supports habitat preservation in the Amazon rainforest and allows the butterfly’s beauty to live on. Size: 1.18" x 1.39" including ear wires. Sterling silver. Fair trade.
