Cicada Labradorite Gemstone Crystal Jewelry Pendant
Reference id: rfNZICQ9NZk 11907
Pendant of a 925 silver plated cicada insect bug with a labradorite crystal.
Measures about 2.5 inches long, 1 5/8 inch wide.
Since ancient times, the cicada has been seen as a symbol of resurrection, an association that owes to its fascinating life cycle. Newly hatched insects drop from branches to burrow into the ground, where they nourish themselves on tree roots for as long as seventeen years before emerging into the sunlight.
Significance of Cicadas
In Chinese culture, cicadas were long considered a symbol of rebirth. Rebirth is also considered an essential tenet of Buddhism. Naturally, Japanese Buddhists would have seen the cicada as a constant reminder of rebirth. Cicadas have been represented in Japanese art for centuries.
Common questions
- For pendants pictured without a bail (the piece that goes into the drill hole so you can slide a chain through), I will make a wire bail. I will need to be able to reach you to see what color bail you want the wire in.
Please keep dry. Some crystals will dissolve if they get wet. A little sweat against the skin or a little rain (if you are out and about) will be fine, but please do not shower or swim with the pieces.
