These jewel-studded beetles are live and had been decorated with gold and gemstones. Each beetle is jewel-encrusted and they are meant to stay alive as you’re wearing them. These living pieces of jewelery can crawl around your neck, sweater but they are given a leash so they don’t venture too far away. This is especially great since no one would want to lose their pet bug that was dripping in bling or have the creepy crawly creature anywhere else on their bodies.
