Butterfly Cloche
This one-of-a-kind display features a natural arrangement of ethically sourced butterflies and small animal bones, set in a sandy base with a piece of found driftwood. Housed under a glass dome on a black wooden base, the scene captures a quiet desert moment — life, death, and decay held in delicate balance.
Butterflies include a faded orange Danaus chrysippus (African Monarch), a Charaxes varanes underside, and a pale blue Zizeeria knysna (African Grass Blue). At the base, nestled in the sand, are real small mouse bones and skull fragments. The dome is sealed and stable for display on a shelf, desk, or cabinet.
A still-life piece that speaks to the fragile beauty of the natural world.
The Details That Matter

Ethical Origins
Ethical Origins
At the heart of our craftsmanship is a commitment to ethical sourcing. We use materials that are responsibly gathered, often from natural occurrences such as roadkill, ensuring that no life is taken specifically for our art. This approach not only honors the natural cycle but also imbues our creations with a profound symbolic meaning: celebrating the beauty that endures even after life’s end.
Care
Care
Its recommended that art pieces be displayed out of direct sunlight to maintain the specimens’ vibrant detail.
All our electroformed jewelry are made from 100% pure copper. To keep the copper looking as beautiful as possible, you can let it naturally patina, which happens over time, or you can polish your jewelry to keep it shiny. Remove copper jewelry before bathing and swimming.
