Wear these sterling silver cicada post earrings as a reminder to trust your instincts, and your sense of timing. The longest living insects, cicadas are magical creatures who can lay dormant in the earth for over a decade, biding their time, just waiting for the perfect moment to re-emerge anew. This metamorphosis makes cicadas powerful symbols of transformation and hope. In our lives a time will come when we feel ready to change, to "shed our skin," and renew our sense of who we are. Cicada earrings make great gifts for anyone going through turbulent times of change and growth. • Lipped earring cards will come free with every order. Please note that earrings will not be pre-carded.
