    Default Bugz + Jewelry?

    This Necklace

    The necklace is pretty, surely. Very pretty. I wasn't sure what jewel the center was, until I discovered that it's a dead beatle that the maker raised. Would you wear a necklace with a dead bug in it?

    Sure. It's not going to hurt anything. The pharaohs were pretty into amber and scarabs anyways, and they were kings.

    Whoever is modelling it has lovely skin.

    I'd be constantly worried that it would splat all over my chest.

    It's not like the bug is going to come back to life randomly and attack you or something.

    Unless you're talking to a necromancer. But really, how often does that happen?

    If people an wear fur...Why not bugs too......


    I wouldn't mind giving a gal a special iridescent jeweled encrusted scarab...


    In fact I do believe the Egyptians used them as part of their jewelry.

    Dead? Sure! That's what they want you to think, until it eats your face! It's a pretty necklace, but no. What if it smells like dead beetle? Dead dung beetle no less...

    Hey thanks for bringing my necklace to everyone's attention! If anybody here actually wants to buy any of my insect jewelry, I'll give you $5 off a piece that's less than $25 and $10 off any piece that's more than $25. Just try not to bring it back to life and let it attack you!

    aquakej on Etsy - Fine Art Made with REAL Insects! <--- my store. Just convo me and let me know you're from the Final Fantasy forums, and I'll get you your discount.

    Thanks!

    Wow, would you look at that! Thanks! If I wasn't leaving the country in a few days I think I might just buy one.

    Etsy is the cooliest.

    It's so pretty and cool, I'd definately wear it (although I don't wear necklaces much being male...)!
