The delicate butterfly wings are skillfully prepared and set in sterling silver by Peruvian crafts people. The wing fragment is set between two thin sheets of glass and framed in sterling silver.  Some of the wings have patterns that differ from side-to-side, making them reversible, such as the Blue and Black, Sunset, Owl's Eye and the Blue Morpho.  This environmentally-sensitive program provides income for local families while encouraging conservation and a sustainable lifestyle.
