Art from Insects 2 - Butterfly Wing Jewelry (GALLERY)
Butterfly Wing Jewelry

Nature’s genetic paintbrushes have turned out works of art made of hundreds of thousands of bilaterally-symmetrical butterfly and moth wings.  Even in death, their mounted beauty can remain intact for centuries.  In Funk and Wagnalls’ Standard Dictionary of Folklore and Legend, it states that “to get a new dress all a girl need do is to catch a butterfly of the desired color and crush it between her teeth while muttering a magic formula.” Or, if she’s smart, she can buy one of the many real-life insect pieces collected by Trend de la Creme and forego the dress altogether.

Here is some more insect jewelery:

Giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Brooch - Live Insect Jewelry

The Giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Brooch is a live cockroach encrusted with Swarovski crystals (I’m sure the cockroaches like that).  Anyway, for $80, you can get an exotic cockroach to crawl all over you while you scoff at your friends for being caught in 2005 (and thus, lacking live jewelry).… [More]

 

 What happens when, instead of insect inspiration, the designs contain actual insect parts (like wings) or whole insects (like beetles, spiders, etc?) As you [can] see from these examples, sometimes beauty can come in the form of fluttery wings and creepy crawlies. (trenddelacreme)
