Insect microcosm – a new addition to the Plantis collection
The latest edition of the Plantis collection invites you to see nature from a new perspective. ORSKA’s jewelry studio has come alive with millimeter-sized wings, feelers, and exoskeletons. Centipedes, grasshoppers, ladybugs, and beetles have found their way into the workshop to be transformed into jewelry forms. The result is a line of pins and earrings featuring insects, where the true highlight lies in the details: intricate wings, gleaming colorful shells, and delicate antennae – all designed to encourage a closer look. Alongside familiar flies, mosquitoes, and dragonflies, the collection introduces more mysterious creatures like centipedes and fireflies. All ready to adorn ears, lapels, and shirt collars.
Pin in the shape of a bark beetle from the Plantis collection
This insect pin was handcrafted from precisely cut elements, assembled with the help of tiny watchmaker screws. The jewelry version of the bark beetle has a geometric and origami-like precision. Made from brass, its exoskeleton was oxidized to give it a dark, graphite finish. The insect's feelers and legs were gold-plated, creating a sharp contrast that adds visual interest. Tiny, shiny dots on the beetle’s back are actually miniature screws used by ORSKA’s jewelers to hold the segments together. The pin features a secure clasp-back closure, so your beetle can safely perch on a blazer, trench coat, or beret.
Insect pins – solo or in swarms?
Plantis pins work beautifully as solo pieces – a subtle accessory for everyday wear. A cheerful red ladybug perched on a shirt collar adds charm and draws smiles. A larger potato beetle brooch clipped to a coat is sure to attract attention and compliments. The gold-plated mosquito pin is happy to land on a bag strap or blazer pocket. Flies and mosquitoes can spread their wings along shirt cuffs, while moths take a break from their nocturnal flights on your tote or backpack. For bold compositions, try wearing pins in swarms – that’s how our insects feel most at home.
