Includes 18” sterling silver chain, fabric jewelry bag and interesting natural history information about represented species. Handcrafted by an entomologist in San Francisco Bay Area.

CARE AND CLEANING:
Sterling silver and glass can be polished with soft cloth. Pendants are water resistant but NOT waterproof. Please remove before showering or swimming.
SAFE ORIGIN:
A have a Master’s degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insects and care deeply about the environment. A majority of my specimens I use are raised on butterfly farms around the world and are NOT collected from the wild. These farms raise butterflies for live flying butterfly exhibits, museums and collectors. These farms can work as an important conservation tool by giving underprivileged populations a source of income and reason to protect rainforest habitat (where most butterflies are raised).
