⚬☽• Etics
I never harm or kill any living being to create my jewelry. Every specimen I use – whether insect or animal remains– is either:
1. Reclaimed from old collections: I purchase or receive damaged, incomplete, or discarded specimens from museums, universities, and entomologists. These pieces, no longer suitable for display or research, are given a second life through art instead of being thrown away.
2. Naturally found: Some insects or bones are collected outdoors, always found deceased, at the end of their natural life cycle.
I work exclusively with legal, non-protected species and I fully respect local and international regulations. I never use animals or insects listed under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) or other protected wildlife lists. Ensuring ethical and lawful sourcing is fundamental to my work.
Through this approach, I aim to honor the beauty of nature without causing harm.
