Of what was shown, the only one I think worked well was the reptile skin. The whole insect looked clunky an impractical, the butterfly wings looked terrible, and that doesn't even begin to touch on the animals being specifically killed for fashion. At least with a fur coat it has a practical purpose (to keep you warm), but this? This is just aesthetics.Just saw this... dunno if it’s genius or totally wrong... what do u think?

Okay, but the roach broach as weird as it sounded initially was not quite as horrible as it looked on the surface. I did a lot of looking into these when I first found out about them, but didn't have the funds available at the time to get one. When I did, they were unavailable, he'd stopped making them.At least it's better than the prolonged cruelty of live insect jewelry... https://www.missmalini.com/2012/06/18/bug-on-a-leash-the-roach-brooch/
The designer waited till the roach was a full adult so as not to compromise its ability to molt. He was very gentle with them and in interviews said that the staff took care to make sure they didn't even hiss. He hated the hissing when they were uncomfortable. The site with the information about them encouraged only wearing them for a few hours at most, and when not being worn, strongly endorsed a full 10 gallon tank with substrate, heater, and hides for your bedazzled companion. The site came with a brief care section and a list of foods the roaches enjoyed. Furthermore the designer only sold bejeweled males so the buyer didn't receive surprise babies from a pregnant female. From what I could tell, yes, he was bedazzling a living animal for jewelry, but he genuinely cared about the health of the animal in the long run.
