A sterling silver cicada and a blue sapphire encased in silver, on a star-studded gold plated silver shackle, hung from a hoop and thin chain, with a small anchor.
In many cultures, cicadas symbolise rebirth, transformation, adaptability, the emergence of the true self, and the cycles of life. After years underground, they emerge, shed their shells — their exuviae, their old self — and sing, representing renewal, awakening, and the power of timing. Magical timing. Perhaps even communication with the spiritual realm.
The blue sapphire speaks its own language — a stone long associated with wisdom, clarity, and the heavens. Worn by mystics and royalty alike, it carries an energy of calm intuition and deep truth, a perfect companion to the cicada's message of transformation and authentic self-expression.
I think of cicadas as emblems of immortality, resilience, and self-expression. Small and mighty, and full of magic.
