Everybody has a nickname for them; pill bug, sow bug, tomato bug, wood bug, armadillo bug — even doodle bug!

Celebrate the extraordinary charm of the arthropod world with this handcrafted isopod necklace, made from solid sterling silver and copper. Perfect for bug lovers, biologists, or anyone who appreciates the fascinating details of these tiny invertebrates, this unique piece of nature-inspired jewelry combines elegant design with the unexpected beauty of one of nature’s most resilient land crustaceans.

After preparing the art for this design, an acid bath is used to etch the artwork deep into the copper plates. The copper plates and sterling silver components are then soldered together using good, old-fashioned silversmithing techniques. The completed pendant is then hand patinated, then expertly polished to bring out that gorgeous copper blush which contrasts so beautifully with the sterling silver.
