The Insect Kingdom in Jewelry Form - Discover the Plantis Collection

In the jewelry garden of the Plantis collection, it’s not just flowers that bloom. Among flower beds adorned with daisy, pansy, and cherry blossom pins, grasshoppers leap, dragonflies flutter, and metallic centipedes crawl. This series of brooches and earrings inspired by insects invites you to take a closer look at their extraordinary anatomy and discover the beauty hidden in the details. From ladybugs and fireflies to beetles and impressive specimens such as the great capricorn beetle, each design celebrates the remarkable diversity of the insect world. Handcrafted jewelry invites you to look at these creatures not only with curiosity, but also with admiration.

Gold-Plated Brooch from the Plantis Collection

This great capricorn beetle brooch is handcrafted in the ORSKA jewelry studio from gold-plated brass. The insect’s body is designed in an origami-inspired style, with the individual elements joined together using tiny jewelry screws. One of the beetle’s most distinctive features is its exceptionally long antennae, which can be up to twice the length of its body. This striking detail, sculpted from brass, has become the focal point of the jewelry design. The brooch fastens with a convenient safety-pin clasp.

The Great Capricorn Beetle - A Distinguished Guest Who Loves Company

In the wild, the great capricorn beetle lives exclusively on the oldest oak trees. In brooch form, however, it has considerably broadened its horizons. It is happiest perched on the lapel of a blazer or coat, where its gilded shell catches the eye. It can also climb onto a jacket shoulder, proudly waving its impressive antennae in time with your steps. Like the other pins in the Plantis collection, the great capricorn beetle enjoys good company. Paired with a cockchafer beetle or a firefly, it creates a harmonious composition for special-occasion outfits. To complete the look, choose a pair of dragonfly or moth earrings.
