Truly Unique Eco Friendly and Cruelty Free Jewelry
In the beginning we worked exclusively with flowers and leaves in sterling silver with results that exceeded our expectations. Later, we started incorporating an element that brought a great addition to our products: butterfly wings from cruelty free breeders around the world. Butterflies live a very short life, and once they have finished their natural life cycle, their wings are recycled and can be used in handcrafts such as cards, candles, picture frames and jewelry.
We wanted to use our products to create awareness about our biodiversity and support the legal butterfly breeders recently started to rise in developing countries. Legal butterfly breeders which we utilize must release a part of the butterflies they breed into the wild; to ensure the continuity of the populations of species they are breeding stay healthy. By supporting those businesses, and small companies like ours, our customers are not only buying a unique handmade piece, but are also supporting the conservation of our environment.
One of the most important facts about our company, besides our environmental awareness, is that every single piece is 100% handmade. The work starts from planting our own flowers. Every petal is harvested, pressed and dried. Some of flowers are dyed to obtain brighter colors for our pieces. The delicate work with butterfly wings is also prepared by hand in every step of the production. The designs, the hand cut of the pieces and the excellent finishes in our products are the result of many experiments with our materials, and months of trial and error. Monarca Eco Friendly Jewelry is proud to offer truly unique pieces and to create awareness about our biodiversity, as well as engaging our customers in active conservation of our environment.
