Figural jewelry pieces are little works of art in the form of people, plants, animals, places and things. Both vintage jewelry designers and contemporary inspiration to observe nature.
In this article we focus on the insect world. The magnificent colors of butterflies, rotund bodies of bees, the many forms of the mistakes of others lend themselves to some of the jewels figurative most beautiful and popular. People who get the willies just the thought of insects are often avid collectors, and use their "love bugs" with pride.
Trifari "Jelly Belly" designs of the 1940s lent themselves to insects reasons, because of the Lucite round "womb" that can look just like an insect's abdomen. They in all the colors in nature, and some that are found only in the imagination of the designer.
Stones made wings and legs sparkle and shine. Imitating large diamond may be the insect's body and wings could be dotted with small rhinestones in an all-over pattern. Oval rhinestones were perfect for the wings and iridescent Aurora Borealis rhinestones shone. Rhinestones recently become sparkling eyes.
The bright colors of Lucite and bakelite pins were perfect for insects. The carvings on the plastic jewelry made for some intricate details. Iridescent art glass can be made just as the body of a beetle. From a jewelry collection of pictures of insects, or add to your collection, is a great way to focus on a particular style. Some real finds are still there.
The PIN bee in the photo has red Aurora Borealis rhinestones on the wings and dark red rhinestones in the eyes and body. Was found in a thrift store for $ 1.99! As always, inspect any piece you want to buy carefully. Using a jeweler's loupe or strong magnifying glass for defects, and hopefully also find the signature of the designer.
