These pendants are cast from real beetle heads, sourced from specimens whose bodies fell apart on their way to me! From left to right, they are Cyclommatus tarandus tarandus, Dorcus alcides, and Chalcosoma atlas keyboh.

Wear one by itself, stack it with your other favorite necklaces, or make an earring! Each charm is one of a kind. The original, real beetle head has a bail added on in wax. The model is then molded so it can be replicated, injected with molten wax, invested, burned out, and cast in precious metal using the process of lost wax casting.

Available in sterling silver or 18k vermeil. Solid 14k gold pricing available upon request.

This listing is for a pendant only. Additional hardware can be added separately.

You can add a chain or earring here.

All charms are handmade to order — the molds need to be injected with wax, cleaned up, cast, and polished. Please allow 8 weeks for completion. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!

$5 shipping includes tracking and insurance and each order ships gift-wrapped. When you place your order, you will get an email receipt which indicates that your order has been received by me. I will get started ASAP and you will receive a tracking number when your order is complete.

No rush orders.
