Will you have better luck than I at finding insect themed jewelry?

Commercially made jewelery runs in fads. Right now dragon flies are big. Maybe cicadas will make it big in a few years.

This one and several others are on etsy right now.

And Etsy also has this

The best gifts are the do it yourself kind.

@Kayak8 Yes, I’ve been looking at Etsy, but it’s just not quite right. I’m looking for something of a nicer quality than stamped metal, more jewelry grade.

What’s wrong with the one you linked to in the details of your question?

Er and how much are you interested in spending might also be a good start?

@Kayak8 I can’t actually find the Lalique cicada for sale anywhere (and I suspect it’s out of my price range, with those diamonds). Maybe up to $200.

What about this?

This one on Etsy is more sturdy.

Here is one on Amazon.

Here are a range of them from France.

This was a kind of cool art deco one.

@Kayak8 Yes, I saw the luna parc and liked them. (I personally found this hilarious.)

My search landed me at ebay, but I found some pretty ones:
swarovski crystal blue
swarovski crystal purple
crystal & gold one
so they are out there!

Here are this, this and this from Amazon

This

This

This on is beautiful, but $195.

Good luck with your search!

arts and crafts pewter brooch
rhinestone and brass brooch
silver brooch
Vintage silver brooch
art deco brooch

Here’s one on e-bay that has rhinestones and looks like a Junebug

And here’s one on Art Fire that also looks like a Junebug, but is totally different, here

And here’s one at Worthopedia that is a very beautiful silver cockroach (just look at it first)

And here are 3 cicada’s pn Etsy (hopefully they aren’t the one’s you already saw)

These are awesome, guys, thanks!

Maybe I’m a little late, but have you tried any antique stores? They sometimes have really interesting old pieces that sound like what you’re looking for.
