The details of this amazing Shimmerwing Butterfly Wing pendant are endless. Featuring a various shades of green, splashes of black and a distinct white "stripe" that runs throughout the length of the left side. This pendant measures approximately 1 1/2 inches in length including the bail. Our Shimmerwings are harvested from the Peruvian Amazon by trained and licensed workers. At the end of their life cycle, butterflies lay their eggs and literally drop from the trees, whereupon their wings are collected and transformed into beautiful jewelry. Each is set in crystal clear acrylic and Sterling Silver, and both utterly unique sides of the wing are visible! Please, however, try to avoid exposure to water; butterflies don't like getting wet, and neither do these wings. Our Shimmerwings collection is sold by size, shape, and color; while you won't receive the exact wing pictured, it will be as close as Mother Nature allows! Your Shimmerwing is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of Nature's artwork! We recommend that you use a sterling polishing cloth to keep your sterling silver clean. The polishing cloth is safe for use with all our wonderful jewelry. As with all of our beautiful jewelry, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.
