Butterfly Earrings - Small Teardrop - Green Banded Urania

Description

This fairly traded jewelry is hand crafted using real butterfly wings. Part of a sustainability project in Peru's Amazon, the Indigenous Community raise butterflies to preserve their traditional way of life and prevent deforestation of their lands. No butterflies are killed; they are collected when their life naturally ends. The breeding of butterflies adds to the jungles biodiversity. The jewelry is completed in a small workshop located in Lima Peru.
These beautiful silver plated butterfly earrings are 1 inch tall and 1/2 inches wide.
They have sterling silver earwires and come in a beautiful gift box.
They are two sided. The image you see is the front of the wings and on the back of the earring shows the other side of the wing.
Includes an insert with a picture and description of the butterfly or butterflies.
They are made in Peru by the members of the Shipibo Indigenous Community, a fair trade organization.
