Symbolize your personal transformation with this dragonfly adornment! Wear it proudly on sterling silver metal blanks or mix it together with soldering flowers and leaves on a ring or handmade pendant. Did you know that 300 million years ago dragonflies roamed the Earth? They had a giant wingspan of over 2 feet during that time and they were one of the very first insects that were ever found. Nowadays there are over 5,000 dragonfly species, they have wingspans of just 2-5 inches and their mandibles are serrated, like teeth. Their success in the insect world is probably due to two amazing facts: They can lay hundreds of eggs at a time in waterways, and they are highly skilled predators, feeding on mosquitos, bees, butterflies and a slew of other insects. But dragonflies are also gentle looking creatures. They can fly in reverse, forward, straight up or sideways, they can come to a dead stop midflight, and who hasn’t enjoyed watching a dragonfly just hover? They are simply magical, graceful and beautiful to watch. Make a wish next time you see a dragonfly; it may just bring you prosperity and a wave of good luck.
