Our Aymara Blue Gem Circle Butterfly Cufflinks come from The Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Orphanage in Peru, where butterflies live and die naturally in an Amazonian habitat. Their life span is normally two to three weeks, during which time they live in the sanctuary, and then pass on naturally. The cufflinks are made from real Morpho Helenor butterfly wings, which are then enameled over, and set in oval shaped Peruvian Sterling Silver. The widths of the blue bands from their wings vary, so each cufflink is truly one of a kind and will add a hint of texturized blue color to your suit jacket. 10% of all the proceeds from these Butterfly Cufflinks go towards supporting the Amazon Animal Orphanage. Morpho Helenor butterflies are a common species found through the neotropical region, and have a noticeable slow and bouncy flight pattern, which results in blue flashes of changing colors. The evolution of the coloring of their wings and zig zag flight patterns confuse predators, especially when they snap their wings shut to reveal an unappetizing brown color. These butterflies are recognized by their saucer-sized wings, with large vertical bands of blue on their uppersides and distinctive white, black, yellow, and red rings found on their olive-brown underside hindwings. Peruvian Sterling Silver is 95% pure silver and one of the best alloys of silver in world, which increases the cufflinks' strength, as well as their resistance to tarnishing. The blue colors of the wings from these bouncy creatures will add an exotic touch to your cuffs. Each cufflink is highly detailed and texturized, and will support the continuation and growth of each species through your purchase. These quaint creatures spend their mornings looking for dissolved minerals around streams, dappling in the vague sunlight, and spend their afternoons mud-puddling or resting on foliage.
