This is our Insect Jewelry Page.
When you look closely at the myriad of insects in nature, their beauty and complexity are impressive. Their forms and designs are not only wonderfully functional but a pleasure to behold. On this and some of the following pages we show our unusual jewelry made in the
form of insects, celebrating their many varieties in Sterling Silver and Gemstones. We hope you enjoy looking at them and consider the pleasure of wearing one. Unless otherwise indicated, all our jewelry is made in Sterling Silver. There are amazing Moths, including Luna and Alligator Moths, beautiful Beetles, Butterflies, Cicadas, Praying Mantises, even a Cockroach and many more. If you have a
favorite that you don't see here, we can design a distinctive and unique piece of jewelry to fulfill your wishes. To see some custom pieces we have made, click on wear your favorite bug

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
