Turning A Butterfly Into Beautiful Jewelry

3 years ago
67

I found this beautiful Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly dead in my backyard. Its wings happened to still be in good shape for the most part and I have never seen a dead butterfly outside due the them being so fragile along with birds eating them. This inspired me to preserve its wings in resin and make this one of a kind set of jewelry. Using gold and blackening the silver it was able to match the wings to the metal and I think this come out really nice.
