The Montblanc Boheme Papillion


Another beautiful pen from Montblanc: the Montblanc Boheme Papillion. It's all about butterflies, and since they've been inspiring writers since the beginning of time what better subject matter for a writing instrument. The Montblanc Boheme Papillion comes in 6 different versions of yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold embellished with over 1400 diamonds in the pattern of butterflies and delicate intertwining plant stems and leaves. Plus, of course, the signature Montblanc diamond gleaming on the cap.

Butterflies and plant tendrils? How perfect for spring. Priced at about $273,000.

Insect Frames

Framed butterflies aren't usually part of a modern home but Insect Frames sells a wide variety of insect specimens simply mounted in streamlined frames. Most of the framed butterflies used were raised on insect farms or aviaries around the world. Insect Frames says that many governments in developing countries are encouraging their people to raise insects for economic advancement. The farming is self-sustainable and the insects live on an average of only 20 - 60 days. When the insects have died naturally, they are carefully gathered and exported around the world. They only use insects that are legally imported into the country as regulated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department. The moth shown here is the Atlas moth, the largest moth in the world. It sells for $56.
