Let’s face it, when it comes to gifts for the ladies, jewelry is the first thing that comes to mind, right?  Why not spice up your jewelry gift-giving this year with something outside the box ~ something different from the usual silver and gold.

Asana Natural Arts, created by Missy Zell Lee, offers gorgeous hand-crafted butterfly and various other nature-themed accessories, perfect for anyone who loves nature or for the person who has everything.

Their most popular item, butterfly earrings, come in a variety of shapes and colors ~ from full-length wings that dangle to simple the “eye” of the butterfly wing on a pair of plugs. The butterfly earrings, as well as all butterfly products, are made from real butterfly wings ~ but don’t worry, these wings come from naturally deceased butterflies from a butterfly farm, which means no butterflies were harmed in the making of the earrings.

What’s even better is there is a butterfly wing catalog available, so if you don’t see a piece with the type of wing you’d like, you can ask for a custom order ~ at no extra charge!

Asana Natural Arts also offers other nature-oriented accessories including necklaces, bracelets, bookmarks, and ~ just in time for the holidays ~ ornaments! Each piece is handmade and thus one of a kind. Best of all, these gorgeous pieces won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
