Infinite heart pendant - Sterling Silver
Infinite heart pendant - Sterling Silver
This necklace is made with real jewel beetle wing cases and 925 Sterling silver findings and proudly handcrafted and designed in Australia (Darra, QLD).
The Elytra (term used for the beettle wing cases) are very resistant, light and shiny and their colour won't change or fade over the time. The wings are naturally dried and don't contain any product or varnish. This species of jewel beetle is named Sternocera aequisignata and is very common in Thailand, where locals use the larvae as food and adult wings for embroidery and jewelery.ย Adults emerge, lay eggs and die within a couple of weeks, and after that period they are collected and recycled.
Elytra wings come in three colours:ย hues of blue/purple, blue/green, and green/orange.ย This necklace showcases the green/bue wing colour.
The chain and findings are sterling silver, so they're great for people with nickel or other base metal allergies/sensitivities.
