About Us

Butterfly Artworks jewelry is created by Bob Natalini in his Berks County, PA studio. It incorporates sterling silver and the wings of unharmed, end-of-life-cycle butterflies.

"My wearable art pieces (pendants and earrings) are made with sterling silver and real butterfly wings. To me they are miniature fine art works…small paintings or collages in little silver frames. It is important to note that the butterfly wings I use are from unharmed butterflies. They come from tropical butterfly farming projects within the rainforest. The butterflies live out their natural lives and are collected for me only after dying naturally.

By the marketing of my pieces and other products that use rainforest sustainable use materials, rainforests gain economic viability, creating a strong incentive to leave them in their natural state, while providing needed income for local peoples. All of my pieces are produced in my Berks County, PA studio. My work can be found in many museum shops, as well as in personal collections throughout the country, including those of many celebrities (Nicholas Cage, Claudia Schiffer, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Jonathan Demme, Peter Jackson, Harry Connick Jr. and others).

I hope people will have a greater appreciation and respect for nature after seeing the astonishing beauty of these butterfly wings, which I strive to incorporate in my jewelry with creativity and reverence."
