Jewelry Gets Buggy
entomologylinks, aka the study of bugs and insects, takes on a whole new dimension thanks to Mikel Lefler of Bijoux du monde. It is no surprise this jewelry designer began as a scientist.

From Local jewelry designers create buzz with baubles:

She started casting them in resin paperweights, and was soon creating earrings, pendants, and rings with everything from houseflies to ladybugs.

Lefler captures most specimens herself. Perusing parks with a butterfly net, and then sealing them in jar with a deadly gas.

Others she orders from a butterfly farm. Some friends even bring her carcasses they find on their windowsill.


A trip to Mikel Lefler's web site, www.bijouxdumonde.net, offers a selection of jewelry pieces. Each includes either an entire insect or wings and is made of resin with silver bezels. The site also includes a list of retail shops and shows.

  • 'I very much enjoy your blog and the fine pieces of jewelry.'

    I work with for Cartier [...] I am familiar with your jewelry blog and I thought you would be interested to know (if you don't already) that Cartier is re-launching their iconic LOVE collection.

    Very interesting!
