Jewellery Range
There are 22 karat gold plated, nickel and copper plated pendants,
earrings and brooches. The large wings are usually 4.5-5cms long x 1.5 cms wide
and the smaller wings are usually 2.5-3cms long x 1.5cms wide.
The jewellery is presented in a clear recyclable box.
There are quite a variety of shapes within the seemingly uniform wings
which differ in size according to species and also time of the season.
Apart from the hours searching for deceased cicadas in Sydney and elsewhere;
a lot of time is spent preparing the wings for metal plating and matching wings
for size, shape, metal colour and lustre.
Copper electroformed jewellery can have rose gold fittings or copper coloured fittings
depending on the best match. Most chains for pendants are a fine link
45cms to 60cms long that can be adjusted for length, and some chains vary
in type for pendants depending upon the aesthetic.
The nickel and 22 karat gold electroplated jewellery will not tarnish.
They are very lightweight to wear and the earrings have optional
clear, soft silicone earring backs for security. Clip on and screw back
earring findings can be requested via email for non pierced ears.
And also larger silicone earring backs for easier handling.
Care & Maintenance
To clean: gently rinse in water and dry with a soft lint free cloth.
Store separately from other jewels in the recyclable presentation box.
Avoid metal polish, hairspray and perfumes that can affect the lustre of plated jewellery.
