Blue Morpho Butterfly Pendant

The Blue Morpho is known for its brilliant blue wings, but the underside of the wing is what keeps it safe. On the underside is an “ocelli” or eyespot, which deters predators when the butterfly is at rest with its wings closed.

This sterling silver pendant is made with real Blue 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: .75" x .59". Sterling silver. Fair trade.
