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-like resin and framed in a silver alloy.  Some of the wings have patterns that differ from side-to-side, making them reversible, such as the Blue and Black.  This environmentally-sensitive program provides income for local families while encouraging conservation and a sustainable lifestyle.
