Like the name suggests, this majestic butterfly is rare species only found in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. Protected by India and Nepal, the iridescent green beauty has a three dimensional photonics structure still not understood by science. Locals call it ‘Kaiser-I-Hind.’

Trovelore is a nature-inspired atelier, crafting a line of timeless and treasured jewelry. The precise choice of materials, colors, and techniques create organic textures that give their designs a precious lifelike quality.

Featuring flora and fauna of this wonderful world — its brilliant colors, complex textures, and delicate forms — Trovelore’s designs are a homage to the endless beauty that surrounds us.

Handmade in small batches, their collection is made-to-order by skilled artisans with love and care. They are among the few small ateliers that create nearly everything in a single facility from design to the final product.

Slight variation in embroidery, size, shape and color is part of the handmade craft and may be apparent between pieces; this is not considered a defect but is celebrated as a mark of made by hand.
