Beautiful Beetle Brooch

A simple chain with a stunningly beautiful, polished piece of chitin set into its facet. No one can be sure of how the beetle came to be wearing such a thing, but perhaps the piece of glittering, amber-hued chitin belonged to one of its brood and it reclaimed the item in an act of vengeance. No, it was just a beetle. Beetles know no such thing as vengeance. Upon the back of the setting, an inscription in lettering so fine it is difficult to make out reads: "To my beloved - I have slain the beast that slew your father in an act of vengeance for slaying its broodmother, which slew your grandfather before him, for having brought the broodking low before it... and so on, as you know, your family history and all. May this beautious fragment be proof of my love and valor, and let us pray, a symbol for the end of this vicious cycle."
