A sculptural pendant inspired by the feather‑horned beetle Rhipicera sp., designed around its dramatic elongated antennae and sleek, shield‑like body. The glossy black enamel defines the beetle’s graphic silhouette, while white crystals add a precise, jewel‑like sparkle across the back. The result is a contemporary miniature that balances natural history with clean, modern lines.
Available in three finishes to match your aesthetic:

Designed in Italy, this pendant blends organic inspiration with meticulous metalwork, creating a piece that feels sculptural, refined, and unmistakably contemporary.
