ABOUT THE JEWELLERY, THE FRAMES AND THE ENVIRONMENT

  I use farm raised butterflies for my craft.  This ensures that the butterflies are of the utmost quality and that they are obtained in a manner which does not exploit the environment.

The butterfly trade is making positive impacts on the lives of people where these butterflies are raised.  By creating industry and jobs through butterflies, it encourages authorities to preserve butterfly habitat that may otherwise be lost to other practices.

As an amateur entomologist, who is concerned about the environment, I can assure you that if I felt in anyway that this was not sustainable or was detrimental to the environment I would not be involved.
