The Insect Kingdom in a Jewelry Studio – Insects from the Plantis Collection

The Plantis collection was created for those who see the extraordinary in the small things - for those who look closer and see more. Ladybugs from wildflower meadows, garden ants, bark beetles, grasshoppers, and potato beetles have made their way into our studio, where we transformed them into geometric jewelry. Insect shells and wings were painted in metallic colors and assembled with tiny watchmaker’s screws. The intricate construction of each insect invites observation and exploration of the largest kingdom in the animal world. Here, insects aren’t just decorative details - they’re the main characters.

Graphite Ant Pin

The ant-shaped pin was handcrafted from oxidized brass, which gives it a deep graphite hue. The ant’s body parts are joined with tiny brass screws that double as its shiny eyes. The clutch fastening makes it easy to pin onto a lapel, shirt collar, cuff, or scarf. This minimalist and delicate ant adds originality to everyday outfits when worn solo, but also works beautifully as part of an ensemble with other insects - such as the beetle or firefly from the Plantis collection.

The Forest Engineer – The Ant as a Symbol of Strength, Diligence, and Endurance

Despite their small size, ants are often seen as symbols of great strength. For these tiny engineers of the forest, nothing is impossible. They’ve long represented perseverance, teamwork, and determination. This ant pin makes a meaningful gift for someone who, like the ant, quietly builds something great each day. Whether given to a reliable friend, a teacher who sparks curiosity, or a team leader as a token of collaboration - it serves as a subtle thank-you and gesture of appreciation. Or, gift it to yourself as a celebration of your own resilience and journey.
