Cicada Necklace on a snake chain

Cicada Insect Necklace – To Reach Enlightenment. The cicada measures 2″L and 7/8″w at legs.

“Priest of Tang was named the Golden Cicada; in this context the multiple shedding of shell of the cicada symbolizes the many stages of transformation required of a person before all illusions have been broken and one reaches enlightenment.”

This handmade Cicada necklace is created using the lost wax casting method. We carve the design in wax, size it, and then cast in your choice of metal. We recommend .925 Sterling Silver.

Sterling silver, white bronze, and gold bronze can tarnish over time. We recommend using a flannel polishing cloth to clean the pieces. White bronze and yellow bronze are a less expensive metal than Sterling Silver, yet have a tenancy to react with skin’s natural oils and discolour. If you choose to purchase in bronze and decide you would like to trade up to Sterling Silver at a later date, you can mail your bronze piece back and we will credit it towards the purchase of a Sterling Silver piece.

This gorgeous piece is stunning on, is very comfortable to wear,  and attracts many compliments.

Wear a bit of Paradise.

We also make this necklace with an alternate chain style in a ring.
