Jewel Beetle Earrings
These are beautiful hand-crafted jewel beetle earrings made with 6 jewel beetle wings per earring.
I have a small amount of sacred beetle wing earrings available.
These are a co-creation with artist beloved & transitioned artist Michelle Behr of Pretty Shiny Things.
When I received the bag of beetle wings I was mesmerized. They are so beautiful, and make the most incredible noise.
Shortly after Michelle's passing, I pulled the bag out and noticed there was one single finished item. It felt as though she left me a template to keep using the wings.
These earrings are created with the intent to bring you effortlessly into the current and present moment.
When you allow your mind to hear the sound these earrings make, you are instantly in a present moment. Immediate and pure alignment.
These are healing sound instruments to adorn your ears.
Here is some educational info about Jewel Beetle Wings.
Jewel beetle wings have a rich history of being used in crafts in Asia (mostly in Thailand, India, Japan, Myanmar, and China) going back to the 15th century. The wings of the Sternocera genus of beetles, or jewel beetles, were mostly used in this historic craft (called beetlewing or beetlewing art) in textiles, jewelry, and paintings.
These emerald green wings were prized for their rich color and durability.
In many examples of beetlewing craft from this time period, the beetle wings haven’t changed appearance despite the rest of the items they adorn showing signs of decay.
Thank you Michelle Behr for these beautiful gifts to create with.
