Aquamarine Dream Butterfly Wing Earrings
Real butterfly wings on sterling silver earrings, hand-painted with natural epoxy.
These butterfly wings come from a garden in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where thousands of butterflies come to pollinate orchids and flower beds throughout the year. Although these butterflies have lengthy lives as caterpillars, once they transform into butterflies, their lifespan dwindles to around 30 days, often even closer to just 7 days.
My dear friend, Harmony Sunshine, visited this garden on a trip to Thailand and watched as groundskeepers swept away thousands of wings to keep the gardens clean.
Inspired by the exquisite beauty of the wings and the desire to preserve these treasures of nature, Harmony partnered with a mother and daughter who come from a family of professional painters. This mother-daughter duo received the wings from the gardeners and carefully hand-painted them using natural epoxy. They then put the wings out in the sun to air dry so their unique shape and magic are fully preserved.
May these wings serve as a reminder of your own unique beauty and be a symbolic celebration of your natural cycles of cocooning and blooming.
*These earrings are special and should be handled carefully. It is advisable not to wear them during showers or swims. These earrings are crafted under the principles of fair trade, and with each pair sold, a tree is planted to honor the lives of the butterflies.
