Bugs and Butterflies - Vintage Jewelry for Spring

Spring is here and it's time to spread some wings - those of the critter kind. With all the bulbs and seedlings starting to grow, now is the perfect time to wear those butterfly and bug jewelry pieces you have in your collection, or to find some new ones to add to it.

Wearing butterfly jewelry lightens the hearts of those that see you in it, and makes you feel special yourself. And since a butterfly symbolizes renewal, a piece of butterfly jewelry is the perfect anniversary gift!

Spring fashions are usually full of color and butterfly jewelry makes a wonderful accent. Although you can find some with subdued colors, most designers of butterfly jewelry take great delight in combining a myriad of stone colors together to make the wings sparkle and stand out. This lovely demi parure uses a combination of pink and purple - both great colors for spring, and it has both a brooch and a pair of matching earrings. It is really romantic and feminine.

This Joan Rivers lucite butterfly pin is a good example of a combination of colors that isn't too bright and would look stunning on either a white or black jacket lapel. I love the layered look of the wings and the clear diamante rhinestones add just enough bling to make it sparkle and shine.

And for those of you who like a bit more of the creepy crawly jewelry - look at these unique bug pins. They should appeal to the budding entomologist in you. Just enough of a crawly look but not creepy enough to make those who see it run away.

Be sure to visit the Butterfly and Bug jewelry page on Vintage Jewelry Lane which has an insect jewelry piece which will appeal to all tastes and budgets. All of the jewelry pieces featured here are available as well as many more. Spread those wings and fly!!
