Malachite Butterfly Earrings

The Malachite butterfly is one of the most common butterflies in Central and South America. This large butterfly gets its name from the mineral malachite, as they are both the same shade of green.

These sterling silver earrings are made with real Malachite 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.
