Sterling Silver Earrings 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.

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 blue Morpho Aega sterling silver earrings are also available using the red wing of the Diaethria Clymena (88) butterfly, and the yellow wing of the Phoebis Philea (Orange-Barred Sulphur) butterfly.
