Music, nature’s universal language; cicadas, her summer symphony. As the sun begins to set on a warm, sunny day, the cicadas emerge and, one by one, join each other in song after 17 long years of silence. Moonlight dancing on their radiant wings, they perform throughout the night. Designer Janet Mavec spent hours studying the intricacies of the cicadas’ delicate, translucent wings, in order to create a truly unique piece that is both minimal, yet, certain to stun.
A reminder that the smallest of sounds can sometimes make the grandest of statements, this delicate set of Cicada wing earrings does all the talking. Be heard.
These delicate wings can be worn everyday. Show your determination!
Cicadas have a 17-year life cycle, which they spend mostly underground.
Because of their periodic life cycle, the ancient Greeks saw cicadas as a symbol of resurrection.
Janet loved the cicadas’ wings, but the lovely, translucent appendages looked like they belonged to an insect far more delicate than the beady-eyed, fat-bodied cicada. So, she decided to sketch her jewelry designs with just the wings in mind.
