Small Antique Morpho Butterfly Earrings

Beautiful Blue uses butterfly wings from real specimens. The color that changes depending on the angle is a beauty unique to the natural world. I ordered actual morpho butterfly wings from Peru (I use damaged ones that can't be specimens). Its beauty is described as a living Gemstone! The upper surface of the wings has a metallic luster, and this luster develops a blue color in most species. Blue, purple, green, green, etc. depending on the angle of the light, this morpho butterfly accessory has the beauty of changing colors. The wings of morpho butterflies are colored not by pigments but by reflecting light on a complex structure, so if the wings are crushed or if oil or grease adheres to them, they will turn black. Therefore, we use our own technology to create a gap between the wings and the resin so that the resin does not soak directly into the wings. Since it is a delicate material, we ask that you do not press down on the resin part as some precautions. If the gap layer between the splash and the resin is crushed, the light will not be reflected and the color will turn black. Since epoxy resin is used, it may turn yellow if exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. It also has the drawback of being vulnerable to high temperatures, so please be careful where you store it. Depending on the storage conditions and usage environment, the color may not develop due to long-term storage. In that case, don't worry, naturama's morpho butterfly accessories can be replaced with new wings. ■ About materials Antique (matte gold) is gold-plated brass.
