Question 1

Where do you get your butterflies/insects?

Accepted Answer

Some of the butterflies and insects I use are found during my own journeys through nature, while others are ethically sourced from a trusted supplier. The butterflies in my collection have lived out their full life cycle before being carefully collected and purchased. I deeply honor each butterfly and insect, offering thanks for allowing me to preserve their beauty and share their grace with the world.

Question 2

Are those real butterflies/insects?

Yes! Each butterfly and insect used is a preserved beauty, once fluttering through the world as a delicate living creature. With their fragile wings and unique shapes, no two are alike making them truly exquisite and magical in their own light.

Question 3

How do you honor the insects used in your jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Each insect I work with is treated with the utmost care and respect, as I see it as a privilege to preserve and celebrate their beauty.

My process is a quiet act of gratitude—an acknowledgement of the life that has been lived, the delicate role they played in nature, and the chance I have to share their grace anew.

Through my work, I aim to honor their existence by giving them a second life, where their beauty can continue to bring wonder and joy to others.

Question 4

What are they preserved in?

Accepted Answer

Each piece is meticulously hand-dipped or poured using high-quality UV resin, a process that requires precision, patience and dedication. The resin captures the delicate beauty of each botanical piece, ensuring that the ethereal essence is preserved for years to come.

However, like all works of art, these creations are vulnerable to
damage if not cared for properly. The time and care invested in preserving each one make them not just lasting works of art, but a magical tribute to nature's fleeting beauty—commemorating the grace of every butterfly and bloom.

Question 5

How should I take care of my preservation?

Accepted Answer

To prolong the life of your preservation, handle each piece with gentle care and respect, as you would a precious moment from nature itself. Clean with a soft cloth or jewelry polish cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and oils. Never scrub, soak, or submerge your piece underwater. Store your creation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to protect it from elements.

Question 6

How long does the preservation process take?

Accepted Answer

Each preservation is a unique journey. Most floral earrings take right under an hour to make while most butterfly pieces take days to complete. The process is delicate and intricate, requiring careful attention and patience at every stage.

Resin art isn’t simply created—it’s conjured, requiring meticulous craftsmanship, specialized tools, and an investment of time and energy that goes beyond the materials themselves. The true magic behind these creations unfolds over time, and if you’d like to witness the full process, I invite you to follow along on my social media accounts, where I share the intricate journey of each piece from beginning to end.

Question 7

Are those real flowers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Every flower and botanical used in our pieces was once alive, thriving in nature's embrace. Each bloom is carefully preserved, celebrating its unique shape, size, and color. This means no two creations are ever alike—each one is a one-of-a-kind treasure, just like the flowers themselves.
