BUTTERFLY COLLECTION
Celebrating the natural beauty and living jewels of our incredible world.
No precious stone can claim the same impermanence and fragility of being, and through encasing the butterflies in these settings, the beauty of life once lived continues on.
This collection of jewellery is made using real butterfly wings. I set the wings in solid Sterling Silver and Gold behind glass and acrylic.
Every single piece of jewellery is handmade by me from start to finish, making each piece unique.
I source the butterflies from reputable butterfly sanctuaries, which work to conserve butterfly species and their natural habitats. No butterflies I use are taken from the wild.
From sales made from this collection I donate to the Rainforest Trust, an incredible organisation that protects threatened tropical forests and endangered wildlife by partnering with local and community organisations in and around the areas that are being threatened. After they purchase acres of endangered land, they empower local communities to help protect it by offering them education, training and employment. Your piece of butterfly jewellery directly contributes to this cause.
