Pendants, necklaces, dangles, torques (circlets)
made of Elytra (wings) and pronotum (necks)
of the Green Jewel beetle
there are many creative ways to use this wonderful Art material - Elytra (wings) of Green Jewel beetle (Sternocera aequisignata) !
here we give examples of how to make different kinds of pendants using these naturally beautiful Emerald green jewels.
one can either use ready made simple jewelry or make their own - and then glue on them whole wings or pieces of elytrons.
according to eBay system, no more than 10 photos can be included in Guide, and then only of small size. Therefore we have posted more photos (enlarged close-ups) in our eBay blog (post More detailed photos of Elytra pendants for our eBay Guide #3 dated Sep 17th 2007)
the last 2 photos show the simple merely brooch-like pendants on the wire. this is perhaps the easiest way to make pendants for necklaces.
