Beetle Earrings

I love the way the beetle shells complement the cicada insect gold embossed metal earring studs!

Predominantly, these wings are green, but some carry as well a copper, gold, or yellow tone, and others a deep blue-ish tone. The light plays on the wings to reflect almost “layers” of colors. They remind me of two-dimensional emeralds – you don’t get the depth in a glassy way like you do with a jewel, but, because of the reflection when you move the wings around, the colors are deep and changing.


note that the beetle shells come towards and frame your face, like in the angle of them being held in the hand photo :)
