Morpho Butterfly Small Pendant Diagonal

We source genuine Morpho butterfly wings from Peru (using specimens with natural imperfections that prevent them from being used for preservation). Their beauty is often described as living jewels! The upper surface of the wings possesses a metallic luster, which for most species appears as a stunning blue. This Morpho butterfly accessory, with its captivating beauty that shifts colors—from blues, purples, greens, and more—depending on the angle of light, is unique in every piece. Enjoy a color that is truly one-of-a-kind in the world. Morpho butterfly wings derive their color not from pigment, but from the intricate structure that reflects light. Consequently, even slight crushing or the presence of oils can cause the color to darken and appear dull. To preserve their brilliance, we employ a proprietary technique that creates a gap between the wing and the resin, preventing the resin from directly penetrating the delicate wing. As these are delicate materials, we kindly ask that you avoid applying strong pressure to the resin parts. Pressing the gap between the wing and resin will disrupt light reflection, leading to a blackish discoloration. Due to the use of epoxy resin, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause yellowing. The material is also sensitive to high temperatures, so please be mindful of storage conditions. Depending on storage and usage environments, the colors may fade over extended periods. Rest assured, naturama offers a service to replace the wings for our Morpho butterfly accessories if this occurs. ・Materials: Silver925/RP, Brass (matte gold plating) ・Dimensions (Top): 20mm (H) x 14mm (W) x 2mm (D) ・Weight: 3.3g ※Model is wearing a 40cm chain, height 161cm. ■About the Materials: The antique (matte gold) finish is achieved through gold plating on brass. Sweat can sometimes seep into the plating during summer or depending on individual body chemistry, causing discoloration. After use, lightly rinse with water and gently wipe with a soft cloth. Please also understand that plating involves a thin layer of metal on the surface and is not permanent. We also offer re-plating services, so please feel free to inquire. ■Important Notes: As these are natural materials, each piece will vary from the photograph. We appreciate your understanding. The vein patterns and other characteristics differ uniquely in every single piece. We would be delighted if you cherish this accessory as your one-of-a-kind treasure, the most beautiful in the world.
