Blushing Phantom Butterfly Jewelry:
$35 for earrings, $40 for necklace, and $40 for hairclip. These hand painted resin butterfly pendants are based on the tropical Cithaerias aurorina butterfly. Pearlescent colours give the butterflies a subtle shimmer, and the pink shifts from pale violet to medium pink to hot pink, and the bronze shifts to gold depending on the angle and the lighting. This set is sold but I can re-make these to any size and colour. I can ship them across Canada for an additional $5 to $10 approximately. The hairclip is stunning and my favourite of the set, however it is more complicated to make due to its curved shape, which is reflected in the price. I wish I had taken a video of them because the pictures don't do them justice!
The earrings flutter gently in the wind just like real butterfly wings! These butterflies are both delicate and beautiful but also inspire confidence and boldness at the same time. They are both elegant and timeless, and also casual and fun. I love the colouring of the Blushing Phantom butterfly and its "eyes" on the hind wings.
The resin butterfly earrings and matching necklace are lightweight and nickle-free silver plated. The small butterflies are life size at 4cm long. The wingspan of the necklace and hairclip butterfly is 5cm. The large hindwing pendant earrings are 4cm long.
Advantages over real wings:
1. Both sides are painted the same, whereas real butterfly wings often have only the one beautiful colourful side and the other side is dull brown/black.
2. Many butterflies are endangered and their populations are in decline. This way you can enjoy them without harming them or their habitat.
3. If you like the beauty of butterflies but don't like the idea of having real bugs for jewelry then these are a great alternative.
4. The wings can be made to any size and any colour, they don't have to exact replicas.
