Silver Swirl Beetle Wing Earrings

These Elytra Sternocera beetle wings from Thailand are turned into wearable art. The insects are farmed in accordance with the regulations of CITES (Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) and were not harmed in any way.
8 wings per earring are assembled and attached to a swirl connector charm. Earrings come on hypoallergenic surgical steel hook earrings with earring backs. Earrings measure about 3.5" total from the ear.
Each wing has its own unique color tone, but all have a brilliant natural metallic shine which reflects colors ranging from bright green to goldenrod yellow, deep cobalt blue, and even purple. When viewed in mass the wings take on a mesmerizing life of their own, the hues and colors delicately shift depending on the light.
