French Style Insect Motif Earrings – Copper

French Style Insect Motif Earrings

A small insect-form earring in copper, in white. Understated French styling.

Insect Jewellery, Briefly

Insects have run through European jewellery since the Victorians, who wore beetles and dragonflies out of a fascination with the natural world. The appeal now is much the same: a motif with more character than a stone, reading as considered rather than pretty — which is why it turns up in French and Scandinavian design far more than in conventional costume ranges.

Wearing Them

Small figurative earrings work best with nothing competing — no necklace, hair back, plain neckline. They are the piece someone notices on second look rather than first, which is the point of them.

Care

Copper darkens with air and moisture and can leave a temporary mark on skin. Take them out before showering and swimming, keep them dry, and store them in a closed pouch. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
