Terrarium ring featuring a real exotic insect species known as the Frog Beetle (sagra buqueti) native to Thailand and Malaysia.
These iridescent, colorful beetles have a striking sexual dimorphism. The males are much larger and have very long and strong hind legs (hence the common name). The basic color is metallic green, with reddish and golden reflections on the elytra. Cocoons of this species can be found in the jungle on climbing vines. They have also been captive reared at the Berlin Zoo on sweet potato. (source: Wikipedia)
Also encased inside of the terrarium is blue goldstone, pyrite, deer moss, snail shell and dried flowers. Each ring is gorgeous and one of a kind, handmade by myself. Rose gold tone ring with a glass dome that measures 25mm, these are adjustable to fit most sizes.
No insects are ever harmed to create my jewelry they are either found naturally deceased or come from Insect Sanctuaries which actually help maintain the species and their habitat. Here they are allowed to live out their full lifespan and are collected post-mortem so that their beauty can live on. In fact native people (Malaysia, Indonesia, Papa New Guinea etc..) are encouraged to raise insects other then cut down the land for cash crops.
