An insect’s life, as short and unimportant as it can seem, sends a great message of resilience and courage to the world. Inspired by these little creatures that live their best despite the big world above them, Uzbekistani artisan Fitiev Valery Gennadievich handcrafts a necklace accented with a faux leather cord and hand-painted ceramic beetle in vibrant hues.
