Clear Cicada Wing (Glass)

These pendants are made with real BROOD XIX cicada wings, collected after their full natural life cycle in Kentucky. One signature characteristic of periodical (17 and 15 year) cicadas is that their wings are transparent - they also have reddish patterning on their wings and bodies, unlike the common green or black markings from annual broods. 

Each of these wings is sandwiched between two pieces of glass and then electroformed in 100% copper, allowing you to see the actual cicada wing underneath. 

Comes on a 24-inch antiqued copper figaro 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.
