Brand: Chrysalis Studios
Color: rainbow
I handcraft this unique necklace using a real Madagascar Sunset moth wing, expertly embedded under magnified glass in a teardrop shape! (Read below for more on how I ethically obtain the wings!). The magnified glass teardrop measures 18x25mm (0.7" x 1") and is set in a silver plated bezel setting and then hung from an 18" silver plated beaded satellite chain. Each piece comes in its own custom gift pouch with literature on the species of butterfly and a free die-cut sticker or magnet!  The Madagascar Sunset Moth (also known by its scientific name: Urania Rhipheus) is considered the most beautiful and colorful moth on earth, previously mistaken for a butterfly by scientists due to their vivid iridescent colors and day-flying behavior. It’s bright assortment of colors is a warning to predators that it is poisonous if eaten. These moths are found throughout the calendar year all over the island of Madagascar. The native Malagasy people call them "lolonandriana" meaning "noble spirit" or "spirit butterfly".  *NOTE* No Butterflies are harmed in the making of my jewelry! All butterflies are raised on butterfly farms and sanctuaries and allowed to live their full lifespan, which averages about 1 month, and then collected and sold so that their beauty can live on! Butterfly Farming actually helps to preserve rain forests and also assures the survival of natural butterfly habitats. Native people are encouraged to grow plants and raise insects opposed to clearing land for cash crops. I am a member of and donate to the Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the Rainforest and the many species that live within it, including the Blue Morpho!  This listing is for ONE (1) necklace.
