Thees real cicada specimens were collected after their natural death in the fall of 2022. They are 17-year cicadas, which are smaller in wingspan than their annual cousins, and naturally a reddish brown color instead of green. Each has been carefully preserved in copper and adorned with a flashy labradorite skull, resembling the pattern of a deaths-head moth.
Cicadas are symbols of immortality and transformation - a reminder to move through change and life transitions with ease and grace rather than fear and resistance. Labradorite is also a stone of transformation as well as magick.
The wingspan of these cicadas measure about 2.75 inches across, and they come on a 20-inch antiqued copper chain. If you would prefer a different length of chain or leather cord, please include a note at checkout.
All electroformed jewelry includes a copper care sheet as well as a jewelry polishing cloth to keep your piece looking its finest.
