This season, jewelry designers, perhaps recalling the imaginative little girl whose surreal interactions with insects brought a dreamy beauty to “Pan’s Labyrinth,” have shone a spotlight on the Insecta class, finding glamour and chic in all manner of creepy-crawlies.

Insects have of course enjoyed vogues in eras past — notably for the curious Victorians and the macabre Surrealists — but today’s swarm has a more whimsical bent. They range, at least in price, from the lowly (but winsome) bug brooches at Miu Miu to the high-flying jeweled creations of Sharon Khazzam, Sevan and Vernissage.
