Over the years, I've become known for my amber work in plugs and ear weights, which I can't do anymore due to nerve damage in my hands. Despite this, I still adore working amber and thought it would be very cool to see an insect inclusion in a traditional piece of body jewelry.
This backless charm in 14kt yellow gold with a combined bezel and prong setting showcases an approximately 24 million-year-old flying insect from the Chiapas region of Mexico. It's got incredible detail, with veins in the wings still visible and legs present.
I carved the amber as thin as I felt comfortable and did my best to center the inclusion relative to the open back. The backless setting allows maximum light to pass through for the best view of the ancient insect frozen in time.
