Blue Morpho Adonis Butterfly Earrings
Blue Morpho butterflies are native to Latin America, with their natural habitats ranging from Mexico to Colombia. They are among the largest butterflies in the world - their wingspan can range from five to eight inches! As such, these earrings are big, exceeding three inches long, but still incredibly lightweight and easy to wear. Their brilliant blue color shows up well under dark hair. Blue Morpho butterflies' color does not come from pigment, but rather from the complex interplay of light with the scales of their wings, so while they look distinctly blue when viewed straight on, the colors can shift to lavender and even slightly gray as the light plays against them.
The butterflies and moths used to make this jewelry are sustainably farmed, not taken from the wild, and are harvested when their natural life cycle ends. Butterfly farming has been shown to result in larger overall populations of wild butterflies. The wings are encased in crystal clear resin to preserve their natural brilliance - they are not colored or treated in any way beyond being embedded in the resin. They hang from sterling silver hooks and can be reversed. Measurements can vary up to half an inch in either direction simply due to the fact that they are natural wings, but the two earrings in a pair will match closely.
These earrings are dramatic and colorful but incredibly lightweight - you won't even know you're wearing them, but everyone else definitely will! Perfect for springtime!
