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. A pair of butterflies are shown resting on sterling silver vines, lavish with sterling silver leaves and sparkling cubic zircon gemstones. These elegant blue Morpho Aega sterling silver earrings will add a touch of glamour to any outfit. Perfect for a special occasion or formal event. These lovely sterling silver earrings are also available using the wing of the Morpho Sulkowski butterfly (Pearl Morpho), as well as the Graphium Weiskei (Purple Spotted Swallowtail) butterfly, and the Doxocopa Cherubina butterfly (Turquoise Emperor). |
