Sustainable cherry wood earrings printed with a watercolour illustration of a Green Sorrel Beetle, mounted on silver ear wires.
Gastrophysa Viridula (n) - the green sorrel beetle, or green dock leaf beetle is a species of beetle native to Europe and are named after the species they feed on.
Adopt your very own pair of Beetle specimens! These earrings are inspired by antique taxidermy collections and Natural History Illustrations, but are one hundred percent sustainable and cruelty free. They are mounted on a replica library card that fell out of a Victorian encyclopaedia of animals while I was researching specimens.
The Cherry Wood that our designs are printed on is responsibly sourced and makes a great, lightweight material for earrings. These little beetles make a delicate addition to any outfit and are light enough to be worn all day long. Each beetle has been hand painted in watercolour by London-based designer Maddie Chambers before being digitally printed in the UK onto responsibly sourced laser cut Cherry Wood. The earrings are hand-assembled by Maddie in her London studio using Sterling Silver findings and attached to a backing card.
All of our products can be sent direct to the recipient complete with a gift note hand-written in an notecard embossed with a shiny gold moth.
This is a letter-box sized gift!
