The insect kingdom in jewelry form – meet the Plantis collection

In the new line of jewelry from the Plantis collection, ORSKA proves that six-legged, winged creatures deserve a place in the world of wearable art. This series of insect-themed pins and earrings invites a closer look at their fascinating anatomy and celebrates the surprising beauty found in the details. From centipedes and grasshoppers to ladybugs and beetles, each piece highlights the incredible diversity of the insect world. In this collection, they aren't just supporting characters — they're the stars. Handcrafted with care, this jewelry allows us to view bugs not only with curiosity, but also with admiration for their essential role in nature.

Colorado beetle brooch from the Plantis collection

The ORSKA take on the Colorado beetle is a far cry from the garden pest. This brooch is made of brass and painted in a deep, metallic navy blue. The insect's head and legs are gold-plated, giving the piece a striking contrast. Its smooth shell features the beetle’s signature striped pattern, created through carefully bent and sculpted metal. In the natural world, these stripes serve as camouflage — here, they draw the eye. Tiny, gleaming screws dot the insect’s surface, subtly holding the structure together with watchmaker’s precision. The brooch fastens with a secure safety pin closure, allowing it to perch gracefully on scarves, coats, or bags.

How to style a decorative beetle brooch

While its reputation in vegetable gardens may be questionable, in jewelry form, the Colorado beetle isn’t munching leaves — it’s catching eyes. Pin it to a classic blazer, white shirt, or canvas tote to give your outfit an artistic twist. Insect brooches from the Plantis collection pair beautifully with monochromatic outfits, instantly becoming the centerpiece. It also blends seamlessly with other bugs from the collection — match it with a firefly, mosquito, or stag beetle for a personalized ensemble that will delight both entomologists and jewelry lovers alike. For a more botanical look, pair the beetle brooch with fern-shaped earrings or the asymmetrical clover pair from the Bery collection. This brooch makes a perfect gift even for those who don’t usually wear jewelry.
