Caitlin is making earrings again and raising money for West Midlands Butterfly and Moth Society. She is selling her handmade earrings at £15 a pair and and donating £3.00 of the cost to West Midlands Butterfly and Moth Society. Each and every one is hand drawn before making them into earrings so by that nature they may slightly differ in size or colour. The fittings are sterling silver plated, hypoallergenic, nickle and lead free.

Choose from Holly Blue, Orange-tip, Monarch, Marbled White, Red Admiral and Peacock Butterflies. She can also make them into a necklace.

You can let Caitlin know which design you want after you add to the basket and click 'Prepare Order'

Postage: There will be a charge for postage and Caitlin will let you know the options when you place your order
