The closest artist I have found is William Spratling.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thrift store told me it wasn&#039;t silver.&nbsp; It&#039;s heavy, it weighs 11.9 oz.&nbsp; One of the metals used seems to be copper -- it has left green on the leather in spots.&nbsp; Each link is unique and tapers in size from the insect to the end of the tail which hooks neatly into the bug&#039;s nose.&nbsp; It is brutal but very finely crafted -- there are delicate metallic swirls in the bugs eyes, for example.&nbsp; All the links are strung on a wide leather thong.&nbsp; The body of the bug appears to be a smooth but unpolished river stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone give me insight into the maker, age and region?&nbsp; Also -- would you wear this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS.&nbsp; I&#039;m having trouble attaching images but you can see them here: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/kKL3VlX" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/a/kKL3VlX" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/kKL3VlX</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
