Sterling Silver Pendant With Real Urania Riphaeus Moth and Morpho Aega Butterfly Wing
This pendant mounts two all-time favorites in one setting. Real Urania RiphaeusM moth wings are set back-to-back with blue Morpho Aega butterfly wings! Tantalize by showing off the side with the Sunset Moth, then turn the pendant around to display the blue morpho butterfly. Sunset or twilight – you choose. The Urania Riphaeus is the most colorful moth in the world. Known also as the Sunset Moth, its many different colors and tri-spiked tails make it a collector's favorite. Sunset Moth jewelry is fascinating because, as you change the angle of view, the colors of the hind wing shift from blue to gold-green and then into gold and copper with bands of yellow. Just like the sunset. 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. Enjoy double happiness every time you wear this sterling silver pendant! |
