The elegance of vintage and an iconic token of luck coalesce together brilliantly in PANDORA’s newest pendant. Introduced in the PANDORA Spring Collection of 2012, the 14kt Gold and Sterling Silver Dragonfly with Black CZ Pendant ($110) celebrates the intrigue of the marvelous winged creature. A detailed dragonfly with patterned wings, black CZ and gold accents, hangs from a silver egg. The egg is embellished by a feather-like patten. It stands out brilliantly on any black cord, or oxidized silver and gold beaded necklaces.

The beauty of the dragonfly is that since its discovery it has been a subject of intrigue, holding various meanings across the seven continents. It is a symbol of luck, changing of seasons and prosperity. To the Samurai it’s a symbol of power, agility and victory. Among Native Americans, it’s a token of happiness, speed and purity–purity because it eats from the wind itself. However, in Europe  and Austrailia the dragonfly holds a more sinister meaning. It has been called the witches’ animal, Ear Cutter, Horse Stinger and the Devil’s Needle, and is believed to be a messenger of chaos from Satan,

So whether you hope for luck or are amused by its negative connotations, embrace the beauty of the dragonfly with the PANDORA 14kt Gold and Sterling Silver Dragonfly with Black CZ Pendant ($95), which is available at Miami Lakes Jewelers. Stand out, and become a symbol of intrigue when you wear this chic pendant.
