Catherinette Rings is an [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) shop and company that is based out of Montreal, Quebec. Partners Catherine and Daniel collaborate creatively to design and build these stunning steampunk pieces. The shop boasts a large collection of jewelry, however these petite pests caught my eye. This series of steampunk insects is delicate and dainty with outstanding designs. The collection is comprised of spiders, crickets and other tiny creatures, and are all made of metal. Coils, springs and even glass eyes and music boxes make up these miniscule masterpieces. Owners of these spidery sculptures can take pride in their punked pocket pets.
