Cicada Wing * Sterling Silver * Cattails
This one of a kind necklace is completely handmade with genuine .925 sterling silver sheet metal and wire and features an ethically sourced cicada wing under glass with hammered cattail stamp-work.
The back is stamped with official .925 sterling and Haunted Cypress makers mark.
Every piece in the cicada twilight collection has been made with southern childhood nostalgia in mind, the moment when the sun begins to set and the cicadas come out to sing, signaling the end of a long day of playing in the sun, whether it be catching minnows in the ditch, downing spearmint cold-cups, or playing hide and seek with the neighbor kids, you just know the day is at its end and the time has come to rest!
Some may associate the cicada song with the unforgiving heat of the south, but during the twilight hours as the sun makes way for the moon, these songs help me sense the day’s end and gives me tremendous comfort, reminding me to take it easy, the moon is on it’s way and it’s time to unwind!
With a dash of le joie de vivre, this pendant was made to spread soul healing, joyous feels to whoever may wear it. Comes with a complimentary 18" alloy metal chain so you can carry the magic of the south wherever you go!
Comes in a jewelry box with a twine bow and gator charm, so you can give it as a gift - or enjoy opening it as a gift for yourself;)

STERLING SILVER CARE
*STORAGE: While not being worn, it's best to store your silver jewelry at room
temperature in a dark space, preferably in an airtight bag. Avoid direct sunlight and
humidity, do not leave in a car or on a windowsill. If your piece does get wet, dry it
off immediately.
*WEARING: -Never submerge your silver jewelry in water. Some tap water may contain sulfur which will discolor the metal. While wearing, avoid contact with hairspray, perfumes, or lotions to prevent damage or discoloration. Never go to bed while wearing your jewelry.
Gemstones (Especially Louisiana Opals) can be very delicate and should never be worn during strenuous activities to avoid damage to the stone. Dropping gemstones and glass cabs will likely result in damage to the piece, so be kind to your jewelry and wear with care!
*MAINTENANCE: Sterling Silver may tarnish over time, to keep your sterling piece looking new, gently rub with a soft cotton polishing cloth until shine is restored. Doing this regularly will prevent tarnish altogether. The use of liquid chemical jewelry cleaner is highly discouraged.
