925 Sterling Silver Ladybug CZ Enamel Huggie Hoop Earrings
The ladybug is the luckiest insect in the world. In England, if a ladybug lands on you, you must not brush it away — you must let it fly away on its own, because the direction it flies when it leaves will tell you where your future love is coming from. In Germany, the ladybug is called the Marienkäfer — the beetle of the Virgin Mary — because according to medieval legend, when the crops of Europe were being destroyed by aphids and the farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help, she sent the ladybugs to eat the aphids and save the harvest. In France, if a ladybug lands on a sick person, it is believed to take the illness away with it when it flies. In China, the ladybug is the auspicious insect, the creature whose appearance signals good fortune and the fulfillment of wishes. The seven spots of the seven-spot ladybug — the most common and most beloved of all the ladybug species, the one with the red wings and the seven black spots that is the ladybug of every child's imagination — are said in some traditions to represent the seven joys and seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary, and in others to represent the seven days of the week, the seven notes of the musical scale, the seven colors of the rainbow. The ladybug CZ enamel huggie hoop earring takes this most beloved and most universally lucky of all the insects and renders it in red vitreous enamel and white zircon CZ — the vivid red of the ladybug's wings in the most permanent and most luminous enamel, the white CZ that adds the diamond-look sparkle of the ladybug's most brilliant moment. The huggie hoop holds the ladybug close to the ear, the lucky insect that is always present, always watching, always bringing good fortune. This 925 sterling silver huggie hoop earring renders the seven-spot ladybug in enamel and white zircon CZ using the inlay and enamel techniques, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 2.29g. The earring that wears the world's luckiest insect on the earlobe.
