The design for these grasshopper wing earrings was inspired by the Locusta migratoria, a species of Short-horned grasshopper. While typically in a solitary phase, in response to environmental conditions, the Locusta migratoria undergoes a transition into a gregarious phase where it swarms.
Handmade by the artist, Adam Borut, these earrings shift color and cast changing shadows in the sunlight. Made of lightweight 1mm iridescent acrylic dipped in clear resin, they are almost weightless and the two wings on each earring flutter independently in a breeze.
