The intricate detail of this fascinating insect is captured in this pair of earrings. So beautiful with its cream and black markings set off with splashes of blue and red and extravagant pointed wings, the Swallowtail butterfly is our largest native butterfly, but also one of the rarest. These magnificent embroidered and hand-painted earrings are an artistic interpretation of the Swallowtail butterfly, turning the beauty of nature into a conversation-piece fashion accessory.
The earrings come presented in a gift box. They are hung from silver posts.
Essential info: Made from faux suede and cotton organdie with wire antennae, embroidered and hand-painted. Due to the hand-crafted nature of the earrings, some very slight variations may occur. It is quite flexible and robust and some bending of the wings is natural during wear. The wings can easily be reshaped by hand, either by flattening or by squeezing the top wings together to enhance the three-dimensional look. To keep the earrings in good condition, avoid submerging in water and subjecting to high temperatures or prolonged periods of direct sunlight.
Materials: fabric, sterling silver
Size: W: 3.8cm, H: 6.2cm
