François Santo Hercules the Beetle@Christian Halaguena

Hercules the Beetle

This lapel pin by François Santo was moulded in resin, and hand painted to enhance anatomical detail. The elytra were enriched with diamonds set in pavé across a strip of platinum. Forged as a miniature relic, the work symbolises strength, vanity and metamorphosis.
