Made of real, ethically sourced butterfly wings.

How we work

Studio POPPING, founded by Marije Pöpping, is a jewelry brand where the artistry of human hands meets the beauty of the natural world. We create one-of-a-kind pendants and rings using real, ethically sourced butterfly wings. The butterflies we work with have lived their full lifespan and passed naturally. Each piece we create is born from a deep connection with nature, where we listen closely to its rhythms and honor its beauty.

Our local glass artisan and goldsmith in the Netherlands work with patience and care, following the curves and lines of the wings as they shape every piece by hand. No ordinary casting molds are used, as our artisans have to adapt to the unique shape of each wing, making every creation a true technical challenge. This craftsmanship requires a lot of time, dedication, and skill - each piece is a labor of love and no two products are ever alike.

At its heart, POPPING is a testament to the sacred bond between people and the earth. Each butterfly creation is a love letter to nature, an invitation to recognize our shared belonging, and a reminder that beauty flourishes when we honor the world we are a part of.

Responsible sourcing

All the butterflies we work with, have been sourced and prepared with the utmost care and responsibility. They have lived their full lifespan and passed naturally. We partner with one of the most respected taxidermy companies in the Netherlands, known for their dedication to butterfly conservation and rainforest preservation in various parts of the world.
