There is no better emblem of nature’s diversity than the beetle! The richness of this order of insects has been a source of fascination and puzzlement to naturalists since ancient times, and will, no doubt, continue so into the far future.

These beetle earrings represent a member of the family Erotylidae (the pleasing fungus beetles), the study of which could, in itself, absorb the lifetimes of countless entomologists! Rendered in a two-toned finish of antiqued pewter and Copper, these earrings might, at first glance, give the appearance of insects crawling on your ears. Great for coleopterists and other entomologists, and anyone else with an inordinate fondness for beetles!

Earrings are modeled so as to avoid contact of the wearers skin with the beetle’s Copper elytra (wing covers).

Ear posts are surgical stainless steel or Titanium.
