cicada #2 pendant

Hand-carved jeweled cicada with tourmaline and diamond, 18K

We had First Cicada, yes, but what about Second Cicada?

This version was inspired by the spread-wing cicada and amazingly, my client had extremely similarly shaped stones. The pink and raspberry colored stones are tourmalines, and the rest are diamonds she also had lying around, as one does. 18K yellow gold.

She had another chain that was to be used with the pendant; I just used this (too thin) chain for photo purposes. A very slightly heavier version though I think would have worked though.

This was a really fun one to wear. One of these days I’ll make one for myself 🙂
