Wings of insects are usually written as wing, but we write it as wing to make it easier to understand.
Its beauty is described as a living Gemstone!
The upper surface of the wings has a metallic luster, and this luster develops a blue color in most species.
Blue, purple, green, green, etc. depending on the angle of the light, this morpho butterfly accessory has the beauty of changing colors.
The wings of morpho butterflies are colored not by pigments but by reflecting light on a complex structure, so if the wings are crushed or if oil or grease adheres to them, they will turn black.
Therefore, we use our own technology to create a gap between the wings and the resin so that the resin does not soak directly into the wings.
Since it is a delicate material, we ask that you do not press down on the resin part as some precautions. If the gap layer between the splash and the resin is crushed, the light will not be reflected and the color will turn black.
Since epoxy resin is used, it may turn yellow if exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. It also has the drawback of being vulnerable to high temperatures, so please be careful where you store it.
Depending on the storage conditions and usage environment, the color may not develop due to long-term storage.

■Morpho Butterfly Accessory Making...
The morpho butterfly is said to be the most beautiful butterfly in the world, and is said to be a living Gemstone the beginning of the 19th century, Queen Victoria of England, fascinated by its beauty, made jewelry using the wings of the morpho butterfly to many craftsmen. I had it made.
Some of them can be seen in modern art museums, but most of them have deteriorated because it was difficult to keep their eternal brilliance with the technology of the time.
The encounter between the artist of naturama and Morpho Butterfly was also at the museum.
I wonder if this beauty can be used as an accessory...
The beautiful wings of morpho butterflies are colored not by pigments but by the reflection of light in a complex structure, so if the wings are crushed or oil is attached to them, they will turn black.
However, in order to use the delicate wings of Morpho butterflies as accessories, it is necessary to protect and coat the wings.
After many failures and trial and error, the naturama morpho butterfly accessory was completed.
Using our unique technology, we create a gap between the wings and the resin to prevent the resin from soaking directly into the wings.
However, since it is a delicate material, please be careful not to press down on the resin part strongly.
The resin material has the drawback of being vulnerable to high temperatures, but if you understand the precautions and use it, you can semi-permanently enjoy the beautiful blue color of Morpho butterflies for a long time.
Also, don't worry, even if the wings are crushed and the color is lost, naturama's morpho butterfly accessories can be replaced with new wings.
■Legend of the Morpho Butterfly
Morpho butterflies live in the jungle, but the beautiful colors of their wings can only be seen from above. It is a mystery why Morpho butterflies stand out in the sky when they are at risk of being preyed on by bird. It's hard enough to say you can be happy.
We want to make people who wear them happy. With that in mind, I am making naturama morpho butterfly accessories. I would be happy if you could feel this excitement.

■ About materials
Antique (matt gold) is gold-plated brass, so there is no problem in everyday use, but sweat may soak into the plating and discolor it in the summer or depending on your constitution. If you get sweat on it, wash it lightly with water and wipe it off with a soft cloth.
