Purple Tip Butterfly Earrings, Violet Tip Butterfly Jewelry

These earrings are made with the wings of the butterfly species Colotis ione, aka the bushveld purple tip, common purple tip, or violet tip, is a butterfly found in the dry parts of Africa south in the Sahara. It is a white butterfly with deep purple that flashes bright violet as it moves as light touches the scales of this lovely butterfly. A small butterfly laminated with a special process to avoid burning the wings. They are accented with matching purple sea glass beads and hung on surgical steel shepherd hook ear wires.

This specimen has been purchased from a licensed supplier in Ontario Canada.

Handcrafted by me in my London Ontario Canada studio.   Though my pieces are watertight, they are not 100% waterproof so care should be taken to not allow these to get wet.

Butterflies & Insects used in my pieces have been sustainably raised and bred on insect farms globally and play an important role in Conservation programs. Many governments and conservation programs (WWF & Nature Canada) teach sustainable practices of raising insects for economic purposes for livelihood rather than jobs that destroy rainforests such as slash and burn agricultural farming and logging. It is important to support such conservation programs that teach these sustainable economic alternatives.

100% satisfaction guaranteed.

All pieces come gift wrapped and protected in bubble wrap packaging
