All jewelry pieces are handmade and one of a kind. This set of earrings is the exact set you will receive. No two will ever be completely identical. 

Each piece of jewelry will come in a beautiful gift box with an informational card that identifies the species of your insect wing, its country of origin, sourcing information, as well as care instructions.

Please keep your jewelry protected from water, it will destroy the beautiful wing! 

All of the insect wings I use are ethically sourced from sustainable insect farms. These family farms give the butterflies the entirety of their lifespans to roam free. Native host plants are also planted for the insects, which promotes more abundant ecological systems in their home regions.  

These farms also help to support families by providing an earth-friendly cash crop.
