Brass and Copper Cicada Weights
Main Photo
Sorry, but this product is currently out of stock.
This item will not be re-stocked.
As a symbol of metamorphosis, these cicada designs makes a great gift for anyone going through turbulent times of change and growth.

The longest living insects, cicadas are magical creatures who can lay dormant in the earth for over a decade, biding their time, just waiting for the perfect moment to re-emerge anew.  This metamorphosis makes cicadas powerful symbols of positive transformation as we, in our lives, experience times when we feel ready to change, to "shed our skin," and renew our sense of who we are.

All measurements are approximate:

  • Each weight measures 39mm tall by 19.5mm wide
  • Each weighs 19 grams
  • Made from solid brass, white brass, or copper

The wearable measures 2g but you must be at least 1/2" (13mm) to insert.

THIS IS A LIMITED ITEM! Limited jewelry is usually re-stocked much less frequently and is harder for us to get from the manufacturer. So get it while you can, while it's available!
In our drop-down menus for adding to cart, we show the gauge of the item you are ordering, then the length/diameter, then the ball size if it has any:

Jewelry is measured through a gauge system (conversion chart below). The higher the gauge number the smaller the wire is. For reference, a standard "earring" is usually 20 gauge. Jewelry gauges can vary between manufacturers. There is no universal regulation on companies to make a standard size in body jewelry. This is because some jewelry is made outside of the USA and measured in millimeters. And in the USA jewelry is measured in inches.

Rings

Rings are an essential item that can be worn in many piercings. They come in various styles:
  • Captive bead rings - These use tension to hold a bead in place.
  • Clickers - These use a hinge to open and close the ring.
  • Segment rings - These have a "segment" that comes completely out of the jewelry similar to removing a bead. But it looks like a completely seamless piece of jewelry.
  • Seamless rings - These rings require bending to open & close.
