Recycled Monarch butterfly wing necklace Real butterfly necklace Ethically sourced Preserved butterfly in glass terrarium pendant Pressed flower necklace Handmade jewelry t w

This magical necklace is made with an ethically sourced recycled Monarch Butterfly wing (see below for more on how I ethically obtain the wings!). The butterfly wings are expertly embedded under magnified glass in a teardrop shape! (Read below for more on how I ethically obtain the wings!). The magnified glass teardrop measures 18x25mm (0.7" x 1") and is set in a silver plated bezel setting and then hung from an 18" silver plated beaded satellite chain. Each piece comes in its own custom gift pouch with literature on the species of butterfly and a free die-cut sticker or magnet! This pendant is made using a top wing from a Monarch butterfly. The Monarch butterfly is the most familiar North American butterfly. Its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of approximately 10 cm. The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its multigenerational southward late summer/autumn migration from the United States and southern Canada to Mexico, covering thousands of miles. Monarchs are also notable for having been transported to and bred at the international space station. *NOTE* No Butterflies are harmed in the making of my jewelry! All butterflies are raised on butterfly farms and sanctuaries and allowed to live their full lifespan, which averages about 1 month, and then collected and sold so that their beauty can live on! Butterfly Farming actually helps to preserve rain forests and also assures the survival of natural butterfly habitats. Native people are encouraged to grow plants and raise insects opposed to clearing land for cash crops. I also support and donate to the Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the Rainforest and the many species that live within it, including the Blue Morpho Butterfly! This listing is for ONE necklace.
