Sterling Silver Brooch With Real Diaethria Clymena Butterfly Wing
The Diaethria Clymena butterfly originates from South America and lives in wet tropical forests. The underside of the hind wing has a typical black-and-white pattern showing an "88" or "89". Because of this, the Diaethria Clymena butterfly is often called the Eighty-eight (88) butterfly, or even the Eighty-nine (89) butterfly. In the Bible, the number “8” signifies new beginnings. The color red is also a reminder of the blood of Christ. Amongst the Chinese, the 88 butterfly would be considered a symbol of good fortune, as the number 8 is always associated with prosperity. Red is also considered an auspicious color. For these reasons, the 88 butterfly might be regarded as a lucky charm. Wear this dragonfly-shaped sterling silver brooch to remind you of lazy summer days by the lake. Cubic zircon gemstones sparkle like tiny drops of water on the body of the dragonfly. This lovely sterling silver brooch is also available using the blue Morpho Aega wing (Brazilian Morpho butterfly). |
