Modern 14KY gold and opal carved lady bug pendant

Description : The term 'Ladybug' is from a European folk tale that these beautiful unusual bugs were sent to protect the crops from destructive pests by the Virgin Mary. They were originally titled, 'Our Lady's Beetle'. Because of their helpful attributes, the ladybug is known to be symbolic for divine intervention. The ladybug was known in jewelry for protection, and a reminder to remember to be grateful. Everyone loves a ladybug, and seeing one always brings a smile for something so small to be so dear to the heart. This lady bug is carved from a large piece of white opal with pinpoint fire. Opal is a silicate that forms from water and silica and can form in a variety of ways. There are opals with broad flashes of color like a paintbrush, but this type of opal has very fine points of brilliant color including reds, greens and blues. This ladybug pendant is artisan crafted. The organic form of the lady bugs sits within a hand fabricated 14KY gold setting with a rabbit ears bail so that it hangs perfectly straight. It is a statement piece in size as well as meaning. The sturdy chain with a finely crafted box clasp is included.
