Just finished the last piece for now, a glorious necklace made from the best ruby Sternocera elytra wings I could find. Bright red Sternocera beetles occur as a genetic mutation, only happening every thousand or so insects born. They are cruelty-free, retrieved from expired adults who are farm bred and in accordance with CITES legislation. There are similar elytra necklaces on Etsy, made of common green wings, and on gold/silver costume chains for a whopping £75.

SOLD

Etsy listing can be found in my shop: [link]

Ahhhh, this is beautiful, it's too bad I'd never have anything to wear it with to match. ;3; lol Hope someone buys it, it's a really beautiful piece.

Well, I'm making a HANDBAG soon! With probably two hundred or maybe more beetle wings! {X>D That'd go with the necklace very well. {X>3

I'll be making blue/green versions soon, using the same awesome chain and findings. These are so vivid and supernatural when viewed in daylight! {8>D
