Gleaming with all the dark iridescence of an oil slick but made from 100% natural materials, these chandelier earrings are light as a feather and rustle softly as you move. Made from the elytra (or wing covers) of jewel beetles, they feature a trio of wing covers hung vertically from a single horizontal elytron, joined with sterling silver rings and hung from a hand-made sterling silver ear hook.
Elytra are lovely, ethical way to add colour to your jewellery collection. Jewel beetles live a brief (but brilliant!) life, after which the wings are collected and go on to be used in jewellery, textiles and other decorative objects.
Earrings drop: 58mm
