Monarch Butterfly Earrings

Sale price$42.00

Monarch butterflies are probably the most famous butterfly in the United States; nearly everyone instantly recognizes their distinctive color patterns. Schoolchildren feed them as pupae and watch them transform in classrooms across America. While it is considered a vulnerable species, the butterflies used to make this jewelry are sustainably farmed, not taken from the wild, and are harvested when their natural life cycle ends. 

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!
