For the purposes of the Silver Salon Forums, I have focused on silver insect items, but many beautiful pieces were produced in a wide variety of other materials, including bronze, ivory, horn, micro mosaic, and so forth. Pictured here are a few examples of bugs in other metals: an 1880s bronze buckle, probably Japanese, which depicts a beetle, among other things, upon a wooden structure; a French bronze rectangular plaque commemorating an entomologist; a Victorian copper (?) potato motif watch fob featuring that scourge, the potato bug; and a Victorian stickpin featuring a chunk of rock mounted with a realistic steel fly.
