Real Butterfly Jewelry Preserves a Piece of the Amazon

 

Butterflies often fascinate us. The way they flutter from flower to flower, the intricate designs and colors of their wings, and their delicate nature are all irresistible. Peru is home to over 3,000 species of butterflies, and some researchers estimate the number may be over 4,000 as we learn more. With so many species to see, Peru is a butterfly lover’s dream. Species such as the gorgeous blue morpho are found in the Peruvian Amazon, where locals collect their wings from the jungle floor. The underside is a brilliant iridescent blue, while the other side is a swirl of brown camouflage. Artisans buy these wings in the marketplace, and use them to create spectacular butterfly jewelry. Tikanchay’s butterfly necklace and earrings are a truly unique way to preserve the delicate natural beauty of the Amazon. The necklace is also reversible, so you can show either side. Tikanchay has a whole collection of butterfly jewelry that is perfect for anyone who loves butterflies, or is just looking for a truly unique gift or accessory.
