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.
