This pendant includes a real, cruelty free and ethically sourced cicada that remains within its armor of copper. This pendant was created to preserve the beauty of the naturally passed cicada through the process of electroforming. Undergoing over 48 hours of copper growth, this 27 year cicada is sturdier and stronger than ever before.
This cicada came from a vintage collection that taught Batavia, IL locals for years. This cicada specifically was found during the 17-year cicada emergence back in 1987. I got my hands on this baby when the nature center decided to retire the collection.
This pendant hangs on a 26 inch, adjustable, nickel free, copper chain.
