Zealandia Paua Jewelry — Silver Dragonfly Pendant Necklace

Our silver dragonfly pendant necklace captures the grace and decorative appearance of this beloved insect with hand selected materials and Zealandia designers' signature naturalistic look. This dragonfly soars on wings of gold—14kt gold fill, that is, as veining on his patterned sterling silver wings.

A live dragonfly weighs mere fractions of an ounce, but as a symbol he is larger than life. The dragonfly emerges one of the world's most impressive fliers after spending the majority of his life underwater as a nymph. His life cycle helps make him a symbol of transformation as well as speed, purity, and self realization.

We selected New Zealand paua shell as a highlight for its peacock coloring and glossy polished luster. New Zealand paua comes from the inner lining of a type of abalone found only in Kiwi waters, and it is the design focal point in all our paua jewelry.

The dragonfly's body is made from beaded fossilized walrus ivory, a 500 to 3,000 year old material that, like the dragonfly, has spent most of its life out of sight. Fossilized walrus ivory has lain buried underground for centuries, accreting its rich caramel to smoky cocoa hue. Native peoples gather it for carving, sale, and trade. It is an important cultural and indigenous economic resource.

The fossilized ivory's variegated coloring and earthy appeal make it an ideal accent in this pendant from our silver dragonfly jewelry collection.
