The Lesser Purple Emperor 3D Butterfly Hoop Earrings
The Lesser Purple Emperor is an elegant butterfly with a regal indigo-purple hue. It belongs to the emperor butterfly group, known for their distinctive, dark-winged appearance. These butterflies are found in temperate forests and are often elusive, adding to their mystique.
Elegance and mystery are embodied in the Lesser Purple Emperor butterfly, with its rich indigo-purple and gold tones. These 3D earrings capture the delicate flutter of its wings, creating the illusion of movement as it rests gracefully near your ear. The intricate details and rich colours make this design an enchanting and sophisticated addition to your jewellery collection, perfect for those who appreciate the finer nuances of nature’s artistry.

Love, love, love these earrings. Great design, well-made, and so beautiful.
I am so in love with this butterfly! Normally, I am not one to wear a lot of gold, which is why I was originally going to get one of the other gorgeous butterflies, but the more I looked at the Lesser Purple Emperor, the more it just made sense. And when I got my butterflies, I was just in complete awe about how well beautiful they are; they're just so much like an actual butterfly.

I decided to buy these earrings after I saw Maddi wearing them while sharing shop updates through Facebook stories. The butterflies really move and dangle so naturally! You can tell a lot of care goes into the engineering of the design. I don't see any other acrylic earrings that have such a nice 3D construction. I'm always happy with my purchases from Binkabu :)
These beautiful earrings are so colourful and vibrant, just like real Rosellas!
Cute, cheeky and go with every outfit. These hoops are great for when I’m feeling playful.
One of three pairs I purchased from this collection and such a fan. I stil can’t get over how lightweight these are and how cute they are!
These are absolute stunners! Sturdy, beautiful and so blessedly hypoallergenic i can and have worn them all day!
Bought these for my MIL who loves Sacred Kingfishers. She loved them so much
So cute, will look great as a scarf broach!
So adorable! 🥰
These books are beautiful, both in their message and illustrations.
Funny, sweet, lots of rhyme, choral reading opportunities, perfect choice!!
Delightful book!
A subtle cute design. I wear them to add a little colour to a monochrome outfit.
I absolutely love these little guys. The quality is next level and they are such beautiful pieces. My ears never get sore when wearing Binkabu products and the students I work with always like seeing what I have on for the day.
Love the revamped versions of the Binkabu flock.
Easy to wear with cute details. The colours make it easy to combine to many outfits too.
I’m sure my grandchildren will love these books! I haven’t had a chance to look at them yet.
