![]() These butterfly wing teardrop style earrings are created from real butterfly wings. Fair trade artisans from Lima, Peru, meticulously place the delicate wings inside of two pieces of acrylic glass, and then seal around the glass with sterling silver. Wings are collected after the butterflies have expired naturally, so you can rest assured that no butterflies were harmed in the process. Raised in butterfly farms both in Peru and United States, these butterflies typically have a life span of anywhere from a month to one year. Their wings are preserved and sent on to Peruvian artisans in Lima, where they begin the jewelry making process. We have matching butterfly pendants and a matching sterling silver butterfly wing bracelet available. Each set of earrings comes in a gold foil box, and is ready for gift giving. Top images are front side of earrings. Directly below each set is the backsides of those earrings. Materials: Sterling Silver, Acrylic glass. Size: 1 inch in length (not including ear wire) x 3/4 inch wide at widest part of earring. Country of Origin: Peru | ![]() |
