Don't look if you are of a nervous disposition. They're just wrong ... and so expensive, too.

Why are they wrong? Hmm

GregBrawlsInDogJail · 03/03/2022 21:24

They're pretty cool. I like Victorian death obsession tat.

Mamette · 03/03/2022 21:24

Oh. I think they are kind of cute.

They look very heavy though. And I think they would turn your earlobes green.

3luckystars · 03/03/2022 21:25

Well done they are hideous.

Time40 · 03/03/2022 21:25

Real dead things, Tessie. And real dead things that don't look in any way nice.

I've seen worse
I was expecting something pornographic 😂

So do I, if it's attractive death obsession tat.

I don’t really see the issue to be fair.

SirVixofVixHall · 03/03/2022 21:26

I like them. Although I feel sorry for the beetles. They have highly iridescent bodies and wing cases, that don’t really show up there but normally shimmer green and gold, they are beautiful.

Time40 · 03/03/2022 21:28

I've seen worse

I've seen worse too, but not on anyone's ears. I challenge you to produce worse earrings! Grin

They are indeed fucking gopping

alwayswrighty · 03/03/2022 21:29

I don't like them at all, but I can imagine some people might collect and the price isn't bad for them but yeurgh

Thatsplentyjack · 03/03/2022 21:31

Are they actually made from real beetles , or is it just metal/gold in the shape of the beetle? Sorry of that's a stupid question, I just can't tell.

Real. That's what makes me feel a bit sick.

They look like your ears would be flapping round your knees wearing them but if the seller can really get a ton plus for them it's hats off.

Thatsplentyjack · 03/03/2022 21:35

I thought so. Yup that's disgusting but then I suppose people wear animal skin etc.

WestendVBroadway · 03/03/2022 21:58

How can you be sure they are real beetles, it doesn't give me that impression from the description.

ChuckBerrysBoots · 03/03/2022 22:00

@Time40

Real. That's what makes me feel a bit sick.

Where does it say that? The description says “ Filigree Yellow metal clip on Earrings”
Time40 · 03/03/2022 22:07

How can you be sure they are real beetles, it doesn't give me that impression from the description

It says "Main stone: scarab. Main stone creation: natural"

But a scarab, is not a stone. Surely it is saying that the scarabs are made from natural stone. or am I being completely dense?
Luredbyapomegranate · 03/03/2022 22:15

I love them. Adore curiosities like this.

Justkeepon · 03/03/2022 22:16

@WestendVBroadway you WIN 🏆

Kleptronic · 03/03/2022 22:17

@WestendVBroadway eee and also yak

ClemFandangoo · 03/03/2022 22:17

They’re hideous but I was expecting a lot worse with the wording ‘nervous disposition’ was expecting it to look really bloody or gory Confused
