King Swallowtail Butterfly Earrings

The King Swallowtail butterfly gets its name from the extended tails on its hindwings. This forked tail allows them to be more buoyant in flight. The swallowtail often represents grace, hope, and endurance.

These sterling silver earrings are made with real King Swallowtail 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.
