Our upbeat Petite Dragonfly Cherry & Green amber pendant combines dazzling color with a sleek size that is perfect for daily wear.

A bright, elongated & segmented sterling silver body hangs from the dragonfly's trademark double wings. Each wing is tipped with a cherry or green amber marquise-shaped cabochon. Open construction allows the skin or fabric to show through, neatly mimicking the transparency of a real dragonfly's patterened wings. Texturized reverse.

A snippet of dragonfly folklore: Vietnamese people have a traditional way to forecast rain by seeing dragonflies, translated as: Dragonflies fly at low level, it is rainy; dragonflies fly at high level, it is sunny; dragonflies fly at medium level, it is shadowy.

In Japan dragonflies are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness, and they often appear in art and literature, especially haiku. In ancient mythology, Japan was known as Akitsushima, which means "Land of the Dragonflies". The love for dragonflies is reflected by the fact that almost all of the 200 species of dragonflies found in and around Japan.
