Expand description
From ancient times to the present, creatures that creep, crawl, swarm, and buzz have inspired beautiful works of jewelry. An ancient Egyptian lapis lazuli scarab bracelet, a Rene Lalique Art Nouveau grasshopper, and a Cartier enamel, emerald, and diamond butterfly are among the more than 150 fanciful creations on display in dazzling color photographs, more than half of which are shown here for the first time. With a whimsical text that presents remarkable facts and lore about insects in the natural world, Jeweled Bugs and Butterflies will be irresistible for collectors and jewelry buffs alike.
