Night Gleam

This stunning necklace features a real electroformed cicada with its wings and eyes left visible and adorned with faceted onyx, garnet, and hand sculpted moon and starlight. 3 inches in length and 3 1/2 inches in width. She hangs from an adjustable 16"-18" nickel free gunmetal chain. Leave me a note if you want a different chain length. All jewelry comes gift wrapped in a bubble mailer.

Garnet cleanses and re-energises the chakras.  It revitalises, purifies and balances energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate.  Inspires love and devotion.  Garnet balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony.  It activates and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope.  Stimulates past-life recall.  Sharpens perceptions of oneself and others.  Garnet removes inhibitions and taboos.  It opens the heart and bestows self-confidence.

Onyx gives strength. It promotes vigor, steadfastness and stamina. Imparts self-confidence, helping you to be at ease in your surroundings. Onyx banishes grief, enhances self-control and stimulates the power of wise decision-making.

Electroforming is the intricate process of using electricity to "grow" copper on to another medium. During this phase the copper will grow as it pleases giving each piece its own unique textures and character. Each piece requires 24+ hours to fully form and no two pieces will ever form the same. 

As Copper is a conductor of heat and electricity, it is also considered a conductor of one’s spiritual energy, moving it back and forth between people, auras, crystals, and the spirit world. Said to be able to amplify one’s thoughts, sending and receiving psychic communication.
