Sterling Silver Brooch With Real Blue Morpho Aega Butterfly Wing
There are many types of morphos. The blue Morpho Aega, or Brazilian Morpho, is probably one of the most popular butterflies used for jewelry and even as inlay for woodworking. The term Blue Morpho actually refers to several butterfly species. The territorial habits of the forest-dwelling Blue Morpho were exploited by the native peoples along the Rio Negro in Brazil who lured them into clearings with bright blue decoys. The collected butterfly wings were used as decorations for ceremonial masks.
This pretty sterling silver brooch shows a fairy, with one arm raised, as if in greeting. Fairies are the stuff of childhood and fairy tales and remind us of the wonder of life. Wear this brooch for a happy, carefree day.
This lovely sterling silver brooch is also available using the wing of the Graphium Sarpedon (Blue Triangle) butterfly.
