The longest living insects, cicadas are magical creatures who can lay dormant in the earth for over a decade, biding their time, just waiting for the perfect moment to re-emerge anew. 

This metamorphosis makes cicadas powerful symbols of transformation. In our lives times will come when we feel ready to change, to "shed our skin," and renew our sense of who we are. 

Cicada jewelry makes thoughtful gifts for those going through turbulent times of change and growth, like becoming parents, graduating from school, or mourning the loss of a loved one.
