Celebrate the natural beauty of Papilio xuthus with these handmade earrings featuring real Papilio xuthus wings preserved in resin. Each pair is individually crafted by me to showcase the species’ bold yellow and black patterning and elegant swallowtail form as wearable natural history art.
These earrings are created using recovered wings from specimens that had damage elsewhere, allowing the intact, beautiful wings to be respectfully preserved and given new life as wearable art rather than going to waste.
Set in clear resin to preserve the delicate beauty of the wings and finished with 925 sterling silver hooks, these earrings are lightweight, elegant, and one of a kind.
