Insect Inspired Jewelry

Each season there is an influx of new jewelry designs on the market and it's often difficult to find jewelry with a unique point of view. I'm always excited to learn of new designs that stand out from the pack. Recently, a New York Times' article highlighted new insect inspired jewelry designs. Nature has long been an inspiration for many jewelry designers, but, the article noted that unlike past designs the new insect inspired jewelry are more whimsical. The author also noted that insects provide a never ending source of inspiration because there are so many different types of insects. Like most people, I'm not a fan of insects, but, I really love how insects are being creatively incorporated into jewelry pieces. The designers really work hard to make these pieces accessible and beautiful by using bright vibrant hues and jewels. Their efforts and designs prove that you can find beauty in anything. Below, I've found a few beautiful insect inspired pieces that make great gifts for jewelry lovers or nature lovers.
