"Maybe if we hope enough, the universe will take pity" is sure a thing I just said in reference to clinging to catholic rituals as a familiar comfort despite not holding the beliefs

[plounce]

on the one hand i believe that overly describing every detail of an outfit bogs down a work even when a scene is about that outfit, so if it's not important at all one shouldn't go into too much specific detail about what someone is wearing. on the other hand i want people to know that i think fictional characters can wear things other than their Default Outfits and also look soooooooo pretty

The Middle Eastern Jewel beetle, Steraspis squamosa

This beetle is a member of Buprestidae, the wood boring jewel beetles. It's range includes Egypt, Sudan, Senegal, the Levant, the Maghreb, and Turkey.

This species of beetle bores holes into the tamarisk tree for it's larvae, who emerge as adult beetles. Since some versions of Osiris's death mention that Set imprisoned his body in a tamarisk tree, the beetles were like identified with Osiris. I think the green color probably added to that association as well. They show up as jewelry, and notably as decorations on the bed canopy of Queen Hetepheres, who was the owner of those lovely silver bangles with butterflies that you may have seen. They appear on a few objects from Tutankhamun's tomb as well.

Versions of the beetle sometimes were made of gold and used in jewelry, such as the bottom row of beads on this broadcollar. I'd actually seen this one before, and assumed these beads were lotus buds.

Amulets carved of stone such as calcite, or molded from faience, have also been found, as have mummified jewel beetles. Their elytra (wing casings) have also been found crushed up and used as a pigment.

Also here's here's necklace made by the Karo tribe of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia using the wing casings of Steraspis speciosa. A similar necklace of Steraspis squamosa casings was found in a pre-dynastic tomb in Armant.
