This enchanting necklace of the Dor Beetle (Ireland's native scarab beetle) has been lovingly hand-sculpted with teal porcelain, wire antennae and gilded with 22k gold lustre. The finishing touch was Mother of Pearl lustre, inspired by this beetle's magnificent iridescence. Perfect for nature lovers!

The beetle is 3cm long (including antennae) and 1.5cm wide, approx.

Danu uses gold plated brass chains for our handmade jewellery. The chain can be easily reshined using ketchup or lemon juice, and is very strong and robust. This ensures that your jewellery will last a lifetime - keeping the warm, gold colour of the chain, as well as being very affordable.

This jewellery is made to last and is not intended to be costume jewellery.

About the Artist

Ruth is the owner and maker of DANU since 2015. she graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin in 2011 I've been based in Dublin, her whole life. She designs and creates each piece using a wide range of techniques like hand-building, glass fusion and slab-work. I love experimenting with different clays, glazes and materials, such as 22k gold, mother of pearl and glass. Each piece is unique.

Her inspiration comes from travel, nature and my home country of Ireland. Herself and her partner spend lots of time carefully styling each photo. They collect beautiful, unusual props when travelling from local craftspeople to use in photography - copper spoons from Lhasa, Tibet, pottery from Takayama, Japan, brassware and textiles from Varanasi, India and carvings from Flores, Indonesia. Ruth hopes when people browse the store they feel that they are going on a journey.

Her mission is to create small batch, affordable, quality pieces that will last. She believe that ethical craft can be easily attainable.
