Recently, the [Victorian Cockroach Necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry) by Benjamin Hubert’s Tetanus Jewelry at Dolly Python was the latest addition to Jane’s collection. This bizarre piece features the roach encased in a clear pendent and has minimal detailing around the edges.
