Insect jewellery became hugely fashionable during the Victorian era.
“[t]he ornithological and entomological fevers, which broke out last spring, will continue with increased violence throughout the winter.”
Godey's Lady's Book and Magazine, 1863.
Flys, beetles and bees all featured, many of which incorporated gold, silver and precious and semi-precious stones. As the fashion for insect jewellery has re-emerged, these pieces are becoming very sought after.
