Insects - jewelry with insects

What would forests and meadows be without animals? Among them, the smallest species do most of the work. When the entire Plantis collection bloomed and turned green, ideal conditions for jewelry insects were created. In this way, the ant earrings, beetle necklace, spider brooch, as well as jewelry moths, fireflies and grasshoppers were created. Shimmering in gold and silver, the insects were cut from metal and connected by screws. The intricate design of the insects allows for observation, but also helps to look at insects in a different, friendlier way. It is now believed that these little creatures lived even earlier than the dinosaurs, and many of them remain today in virtually unchanged form. ORSKA decided to pay a modest tribute to these age-old inhabitants of Earth and reflected them in original jewelry.
