Women's Green Beetle Wings Earrings Recycled Metallic Wing Ear Wires

The design features around 30 real scarab wings per earring, which are individually processed and set to create this drop shape. They are extremely light and move gently with the wearer as they sit on the lobe. These beetles, known as well as scarabs, possess a remarkable shiny green shade. However, variations can be observed, with some displaying copper, gold, yellow, or deep blue tones. The reflective properties of light play a significant role in showcasing these nuances on the wings. To create this Scarab Wings design, I source these insect wings from Thailand, where they are considered a culinary delicacy and shields are discarded after the inside is consumed. The scarab wings are entirely natural and they are not treated in any way. Materials: Recycled 14K Gold-Filled, Recycled natural beetle wings (ethically sourced), Sterling Silver.
