Those are gorgeous! (allergy issues are the only thing stopping me from ordering something)

WOW. Stunning.

My only worry is that I'd feel bad about wearing real butterflies if that's what they are. Does that contradict the UWP code?

Woah, looks like they are real butterfly wings... looked up their Etsy site, and they also incorporate fox hur and horsetail hair. Not sure about the wings and fox fur - I am not an Urban Hunting Princess. I still like the stabby pendants, though.

Yay stabby pendants! Not so keen on dead furry/feathered/winged things.

In the interest of disclosure, do have two Christmas ornaments made from seal and polar bear fur (!), both gifted to me. But I don't think I'd actively buy them.

Oh, too bad about the use of real animal and insect parts.

Fantastic! You also might want to check out the fab crazy jewelry in my favorite store in Old Town Pasadena: http://www.goldbugpasadena.com.

I think we walked by that store when Angie was in town, MaryK! I think it was also the first time I'd seen little cast skull pendants.

Gotta put my thinking cap on and keep an eye out for a way to DIY something similar, but without the body parts. I do have a rabbit-fur-lined coat, but that was both an accident (not mentioned in listing) and not a huge deal to me as an animal I'd be fine eating.

The first link is too weapony for me, but I do love insect-inspired jewelry.
I want to move into Gold Bug. You are killing me.

Neat! But yeah, wings and fox... Hmm. Horse hair you just trim off their tails.

This gal makes some of my favorite stuff. If I had my studio going, this is very similar to what I'd be doing:

Fern, I know, right? I have a crown and a poison apple from there in my Woman Cave.

They're very beautiful. Cruel, I guess, but beautiful.

I'm afraid I went to science summer camp, we're we pinned bugs. They fell apart on the bus ride home, with all the windows down, I'm also afraid. Or is that TMI?

God I love these ! So THAT is what taxidermy jewelry is. I learn so much on this little site.

I would buy the laminated butterfly wings in a heartbeat - as long as they are from butterflies that are not harvested for this purpose and they have died a natural death. Natural Science Museums do this all the time....in fact, we have a beautiful butterflies framed piece that we bought at a Museum. They are gorgeous and wonderful to study. But turning it into jewelry is amazing. I would bet the Museums would be drooling to put this in there gift shops.
