Silver circular brooch from a museum shop ( I think The British Museum). This one often becomes a pendant.<br /> 2. Amber stones. A treasured gift from my niece who likes insects too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007644 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 09:30:40 +0000 ManidipaM 1007644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Florence, that is some collection! Am in awe.</p> <p>Deb, I think of butterflies as bugs too, but not spiders (which ironically I am terrified of ::waving at Echo::) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007577 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 04:15:14 +0000 Echo 1007577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy is absolutely right. "Bug" is an informal term, and different people mean different things by it. I've always equated the term with insects and not arachnids, although that is likely due to the fact that arachnids scare the bejeebers out of me.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I do love the pieces shown in the blog&nbsp;post. Those are a lot of fun. I've always loved scarab beetle jewelry, too - the Egyptian variety, although there are thousands of varieties. The rhinoceros beetle is a fave of mine, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Regardless, I don't own any. I don't typically buy fashion jewelry, and I've just never run across a bug/insect piece worth investing in in fine jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007543 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 03:16:30 +0000 deb 1007543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Florence, you have a wonderful collection.

Also&nbsp;&nbsp;snakes which I know are not bugs, but people still find them "creepy-crawly." As I also have jewelery with teeth, bats, and skulls, my bugs are my tame stuff! LOL</p> <p>I will take some pictures here soon, and add to my reply.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007452 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:53:22 +0000 rae 1007452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had not heard of this trend, but I like it!</p> <p>Gonna have to figure out the mysteries of wearing brooches so I can wear my praying mantis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007373 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:29:41 +0000 lyn* 1007373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered a pair of bug earrings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007317 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:41:20 +0000 Susie 1007317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have to sit this one out. I really dislike bugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007311 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:22:41 +0000 Sona 1007311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen a lot of spiders, scorpions and pretty scary bugs trending. This is one accessory trend I'm going to sit out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007303 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:07:03 +0000 Anonymous 1007303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect that people have different definitions of "bug". If you mean an insect, then a butterfly is a bug, but a spider is not. If you mean a beetle, then you might not include butterflies. If you mean creepy crawly things in general, it might even include worms which are not insects, although some insect larvae are worm-like. Yes, it was a childhood hobby :)<br /> Anyway, my favorite bug jewelry is a dragonfly motif. I have a couple of pins, one I some times use as a pendant and will try to add photos later.<br /> If you like it, wear it whether popular or not. The butterfly ring is very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007112 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:54:46 +0000 deb 1007112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ManidipaM, I always thought butterflies were bugs. I think they count anyway.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007097 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:37:06 +0000 ManidipaM 1007097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, earrings. I have enamelled silver (pink, taupe and blue) butterflies. And while not bugs but certainly creepy-crawly, a pair of black-enamelled green-eyed gold spiders. Unfortunately most of my jewellery is packed well away these days---too dicey around the baby for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007086 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:29:25 +0000 biscuitsmom 1007086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so cute! A definite wear, imo I think I have a pair of ladybug earrings around here...I'll see if I can find them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bug-jewelry#post-1007083 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:27:11 +0000 deb 1007083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read this <a href="http://www.stylebakery.com/style-recipes/bugging_out_the_hot_new_jewelry_trend.html" rel="nofollow">post</a> that says bug jewelry is the latest trend. I have a butterfly ring that bought in the 70's that originally had opals. The bad thing about opal is that it breaks easily so after two replacement stones I just put it&nbsp;away. Years later I had&nbsp;amethysts put in&nbsp;and wore it for a while but then other pieces took its place. I think it is time to bring it out again.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you have any bug jewelry? If so, will you share your pictures? </p>
