They represent transformation, resilience, and adaptability, reminding wearers of life's constant changes and personal growth. These creatures, with their intricate patterns, also signify the beauty found in imperfection, encouraging an appreciation for life's nuances. Insects connect us to nature, emphasizing our responsibility to preserve the environment. Additionally, insects' short lifespan underscores life's ephemeral nature, urging us to cherish the present moment. Through jewellery, these symbols serve as reminders of strength, beauty, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
