The Cicada Veil Necklace is an intricate one of a kind necklace inspired by cicada wings, moonlit forests and the slightly eerie beauty of the natural world.

Layers of delicate silver chain sweep around the neckline, interspersed with faceted clear beads that catch the light with subtle flashes of rainbow and icy shimmer. Suspended beneath are two beautifully detailed silver cicadas, sitting symmetrically on either side of the necklace.
▫️
At the centre, hand-beaded loops of tiny silver seed beads cascade down the chest in an elongated double-drop design. Smaller beaded sections connect the cicadas to the necklace, bringing texture and movement to the piece while echoing the delicate shape of insect wings.
▫️
The contrast is what makes this one special: ethereal crystal-like sparkle against darker silver chain, delicate beadwork beside beautifully strange cicada charms.
▫️
It feels part woodland relic, part Victorian curiosity and part fairy armour.
▫️
Designed to sit across the collarbone with the central beadwork falling below, Cicada Veil makes an unusual statement without needing to be layered with anything else. Pair it with lace, distressed knits, a simple black dress or an oversized grunge tee depending on how dark you want to take it.
▫️
Perfect for lovers of fairygrunge, whimsigoth, gothic nature, dark fairycore, alternative fashion and unusual insect jewellery.

As with all Sphider pieces, this has been assembled individually by hand rather than mass produced. Only one Cicada Veil exists, and the necklace pictured is the exact piece you will receive.
