J. Herwitt's Insect Jewelry
I came across the unique jewelry designs of Jennifer Herwitt in May's Vogue. I am always a sucker for a designer who turns the unusual into something beautiful and her J. Herwitt designs turn bugs the creepy crawly into diamond-studded beauties. Herwitt, who is also a set decorator and an interior designer, is inspired by the insect world and while she creates adorable diamond and gold pieces shaped like butterflies and dragonflies, she also gives scorpions, ants and spiders the same treatment. This large spider necklace which is 14K white gold set with13 brilliant cut diamonds sells for $5,660 and is a favorite of the singer Pink. Other gorgeous bug-themed pieces we love

I never really understood the insect motif in jewelry. I know it goes back 1000's of years and at times has been very popular, ie scarabs, lady bug pins etc
