DRAGONFLY 3/4" diameter earring (5B) in salvage brass with sterling silver ear wires. The image features a dragonfly in flight. An extraordinarily popular gift.

In almost every part of the world, the Dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. The change that is often referred to has its source in mental and emotional maturity and understanding the deeper meaning of life, teaching us to love life, rejoice and have faith even amidst difficulties. Dragonflies spend most of their lives as nymphs below the water's surface, and only exist as the beautiful dragonfly that we know and love for around six months maximum. Contrarily, they can live as nymphs for up to four years, and they can molt anywhere from 8-17 times. With each molt, it starts a new chapter of its life. Dragonflies are often associated with spirituality and death.
