My first thought when I saw this necklace, made of a wing from a Scarlet Swallowtail butterfly, was, How pretty. My second thought was, Wait, is this person murdering butterflies? No, the artist from Popko, who makes these necklaces, lives near a butterfly conservatory where they “lived in a happy garden until they naturally expired.” That makes me feel better about wanting to wear this pretty locket.

Thank you for giving me a shout! Yes, these are all collected by the people who work at the conservatory, which is near my home. Im very lucky for that! Its one of those gardens where the butterflies can fly around and even land on you. Unfortunately they have a short life span. But I am lucky enough to share them beyond that.
