Sterling Silver Earrings 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, which the butterfly represents in many cultures. 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 these dragonfly-shaped sterling silver earrings to remind you of lazy summer days by the lake. Cubic zircon gemstones sparkle like tiny drops of water on the wings of the dragonflies. Can you see this happy twosome flitting through the reeds?
These whimsical Diaethria Clymena sterling silver earrings are also available using the blue wing of the Morpho Aega (Brazilian Morpho) butterfly, and the yellow wing of the Phoebis Philea (Orange-Barred Sulphur) butterfly.
