| This beautiful hand-carved Mother of Pearl Dragonfly has clearly been crafted by a master artisan. The iridescent Mother of Pearl wings are tastefully complimented by your choice of sterling silver or 24K gold dragonfly body. Treasured for the warmth with which it reflects light, white Mother of Pearl is considered by some to be the "opal of the sea". Composed of calcium carbonate and conchiolin, Mother of Pearl is used by some cultures for medicinal purposes, to promote health and tranquility for the beholder. While there may not be any scientific proof for the claims of medicinal benefits, it is difficult to argue with the quite sense of awe you feel as you gaze deeply into one of nature's loveliest natural jewels! The dragonfly measures 1 5/8 inches from wingtip to wingtip, 1 1/4 inches from head to tail, and is suspended from a 16 inch, matching sterling silver or gold toned chain. Your white Mother of Pearl dragonfly necklace comes in a wooden gift box, inscribed with descriptive information. |
