Created under fair trade conditions, fostering financial stability for artisans, alleviating global poverty, and promoting sustainability. The butterfly wings that are used to make this jewelry are collected from the warm tropical region of Peru in the Amazon basin, where they are bred in large netted enclosures. The collection of the wings are a byproduct of the breeding. The butterflies are not killed for their wings, the average butterflies lifespan is quite short and they are collected when their life comes to an end after laying one to several batches of eggs. This is essential to their sustainable breeding. It is also enables the generation of income in rural Amazonian communities, which since the decline in the logging industry have suffered depression and poverty.
