What is a beetle brooch?
The beetle on the "beetle brooch" is covered with jewels. If the brooch is buckled on the clothes, the beetle can still move freely in a small range on the skirt. In Mexico, North America, it is quite popular to use live insects as jewelry. It is said that Jacqueline Kennedy, the former first lady of the United States, once owned a brooch made of live insects. According to legend, a prince fell in love with an alien girl and became a beetle. Until today, the girl hasn't found him. According to some historical experts, this kind of beetle ornament only appeared in the early 20th century. At first, it was just a gift from a man to his wife. They think beetles symbolize health and loyalty.
