A swarm of bees in May,
Is worth a load of hay.
A swarm of bees in June,
Is worth a silver spoon.
A swarm of bees in July,
Isn't worth a fly.

CARPENTER ANT PINS

THE ANT
The busy ant works hard all day
And never stops to rest or play.
He carries things ten times his size,
And never grumbles, whines or cries.
And even climbing flower stalks,
He always runs, he never walks.
He loves his work, he never tires,
And never puffs, pants or perspires.
Yet though I praise his boundless vim
I am not really fond of him.
                                Mary Ann Hoberman

Fondness grows when ANTS stay still
This Silver Ant always will!

ABOUT ELEGANT INSECTS

Elegant Insects Jewelry was created to celebrate the beauty of form and texture of the wealth of insects in our world. It wasn't until we began to look at them very closely that we realized how beautiful they are and began to make jewelry that closely corresponds to their natural form. All of our jewelry is designed individually, and hand crafted in Sterling Silver and Vermeil and is modeled after real insects.

Entomologists and others who appreciate insects appreciate our jewelry. Although insects are our major interest, we also create "other than insect" jewelry in Fine Silver and Gold. All of our jewelry is unusual and eye catching, and is dedicated to people who enjoy wearing beautiful things that are out of the ordinary.


If you have any questions or comments, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Just click on our E-mail address- elegantinsects@elegantinsects.com
