Butterfly Pendant - Small Teardrop - Blue Morpho and Malachite
Posted by Global Marketplace on
This fairly traded jewelry is hand crafted using real butterfly wings. Part of a sustainability project in Peru's Amazon, the Shipibo community raise butterflies to preserve their traditional way of life and prevent deforestation of their lands. No butterflies are killed. The wings are collected when their life naturally ends. The breeding of butterflies adds to the jungles biodiversity. The jewelry is completed in a small workshop located in Lima, Peru.
