Aymara Designers has partnered with Cufflinksman.com to produce Amazonian Butterfly cufflinks made from real butterfly wings. The butterfly wings used in the cufflink creation method come from the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Garden, based in Padre Cocha Iquitos, Peru. The butterflies live and die naturally in a protected sanctuary and their lasting wings are then transformed into jewelry. Every of the products are hand-crafted through the 950 Sterling Silver, rather than the standard 925. In order to maintain the prolongation of several species of Amazonian butterflies, Cufflinksman.com donates a proportion of all sales to the Garden and the Amazon Animal Orphanage.

Aymara is an eco-friendly company devoted to the safety of the environment and the preservation of animals. Aymara produces boutique collections, ensuring the continuance of each butterfly species through only using supplies found in nature. The pattern found in each pair of cufflinks varies slightly due to the intricacies of each individual butterfly, yet maintains uniform color variations according to their species. Essentially Aymara and Cufflinksman.com labor through what Nature provides every month, harvesting the wings from creatures whose life span hardly ever exceeds two weeks.


The donation of revenue is used to locate new species of rare butterflies, as well as aid with the daily upkeep of the garden and orphanage.

The jewelry line features species ranging from the Rothschildia Hesperus, Morpho Helenor (also simply known as The Blue Morpho), to the Phoebis Argante species. All cufflinks or jewelry purchases will maintain the continuation of each butterfly species in their natural Peruvian habitat.
