This butterfly jewelry is hand made with real butterfly wings. The wings are encased in glass and framed with sterling silver by a co-operative of silversmiths. The wings are gathered from butterfly farms in Peru after naturally dying. Not only does this provide needed income for the farmers and silversmiths, but also helps prevent deforestation by offering alternative income in the amazon, and education about delicate ecosystems, creating sustainability and helping preserve wild butterfly populations. No butterflies are harmed in its making.
A good friend took me out for my birthday today to a Bowl of Good and then we couldn't help not going into Artisan's Hope. It was a bad idea, mostly for my wallet. We had a pretty awesome breakfast, which included Beans, Eggs, Salsa, and Mint Tea and then supported Fairly Traded Sustainable Jewelry makers by making a purchase. It was a pretty good kick-off to the Birthday Celebrations that were to follow.
