The Ghost Mantis Brooch is made to order and requires approximately 4 weeks for production.

Inspired by the extraordinary ghost mantis, this sculptural Black Crystal Ghost Mantis Brooch transforms one of nature's most fascinating insects into a striking wearable sculpture. Celebrated for its elegant leaf-like form and remarkable camouflage, the ghost mantis possesses an unmistakable silhouette that blurs the boundary between insect and foliage, making it a compelling subject for artistic interpretation.

Adorned with 168 individually hand-set black crystals, the brooch combines intricate metalwork with subtle flashes of dark brilliance. Carefully placed throughout the design, the crystals accentuate the mantis's flowing contours, organic structures, and richly detailed anatomy while creating a captivating interplay of light and shadow. Each movement reveals new reflections and hidden details within the piece.

The layered construction enhances the sculptural quality of the brooch, creating a remarkable sense of depth and dimension. Intricate textures, flowing contours, and carefully placed black crystals draw the eye across the piece, revealing new details from every angle.
