I love cicadas for their clear, sometimes beautiful iridescent rainbow wings.
I have paired a naturally deceased cicada with a large smooth jasper gemstone and citrine to make this magical necklace.
It is made from the insect itself, the gemstone and 100% pure copper which has been electroformed over the insect making it strong.
It has some delicate parts and should be worn carefully to avoid breaking the wings, which are the thinnest copper areas.
I have coated the copper in a thermoplastic lacquer to make sure it keeps its colour and texture, without further patina. Having said that, don't wear this piece in water or use perfumes or other liquids on or near it to prevent unwanted corrosion.
This is a sensational show stopping piece of jewellery that will surely turn heads.
It comes with the chain pictured, and sits as in the modelled photos, at chest length.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
With a few simple steps and a little knowledge, the speed and likelihood of the oxidization reaction can be lowered. The oxidization reaction is also responsible for creating the aged copper effect, which gives the jewelry a unique rustic look as it is worn (and loved!) by you.
- Do not expose copper jewelry (especially patinated copper jewelry) to water or any type of solvent.
- Do not wear copper jewelry while swimming (chlorine and salt will permanently damage copper and/or patina).
- Do not wear copper jewelry while exercising, applying cosmetics, skin lotions or creams.
- Keep the copper clean and dry as much as possible. Wipe down with a soft cloth and place in a clean baggie after it has been worn. Use anti-tarnish paper if needed.
- Remove jewelry before bed. Also, while washing your hands, showering or bathing, so soap and water does not get trapped under the band/pendant.
