Sterling Silver Pendant With Real Diaethria Clymena Butterfly Wing
The Diaethria Clymena butterfly is found in South America and lives in wet tropical forests. Its stunning, graphic markings make very interesting jewelry. 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. This particular sterling silver pendant shows an abstract representation of the Diaethria Clymena butterfly. From a certain perspective, it even looks like an African tribal shield. This is abstract art you can wear. Unique jewelry for unique individuals. Cubic zircon gemstones give this pendant an elegant touch. This striking sterling silver pendant is also available using the wing of the blue Morpho Aega butterfly (Brazilian Morpho) and the Graphium Weiskei butterfly (Purple Passion or Purple Spotted Swallowtail butterfly). |
