  • Jewel Beetles are known for their distinctive bright colours and glossy iridescence. Their colour is not due to pigments, but due to light diffraction by the microscopic structures on the surface of the elytra.

    Despite their conspicuous appearance, it is believed that their patterns are a form of camouflage. Iridescence has a masking ability that breaks up the outline of the insect and creates the illusion of inconsistent features and depth which confuses potential predators.

  • This Jewel Beetle Collection has been hand set by our expert entomologists in our studio and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame.

    Frame: Satin finished acrylic

    Mount: 300 GSM acid free card stock with a 2 mm bevelled edge matboard border

    Display: Self standing frame or wall hanging bracket

    Dimensions: 31 x 26 x 6cm

    The picture shown is an example of the quality that you can expect to receive. Please be aware that, as these are natural products, they are subject to some variation. While no two insects are exactly alike, each of the specimens in our collection fall within the morphological perimeters for their species.

  • All of the insects in our collection are responsibly and ethically sourced through sustainable insect farming and commercial breeding.

    This approach helps native communities generate a sustainable and equitable income, while providing an economic incentive to protect endangered habitats rather than environmentally destructive practices such as deforestation for logging and agriculture.

  • We are working hard to be a carbon neutral brand, by investing in planting trees to offset our carbon emissions and continuing to operate responsibly. We also package all of our products using 100% recyclable or reusable materials to reduce our environmental impact.

    Both ourselves and our suppliers use recycled material through as much of the design & production process as possible. All of our card mounts and solid oak stands are FSC certified, meaning that the trees used are harvested responsibly and replaced to ensure no net loss of forest.

  • Each Curated piece comes with a loyalty sticker. Receive a free gift reward for every third item purchased, culminating in a captivating platinum statement piece, complimentary from Curated.
