Sometimes the larval form of a creature is the one that is the most memorable, and in my opinion, this can be said of the industrious caddisfly larva. They live in their larval form for 1-2 years, collecting small twigs and pebbles which they attach to themselves as both protection and camouflage. They look like moving sticks as they roam around their aquatic stream or pond bottoms, and are a sign of clean water (yay!). This caddisfly larva pin features this star creature making its way across a river-bottom pebble, next to a Petosky stone, speaking of cool things. Did I mention that Petosky stones are fossilized coral found in the Midwest US, which used to be ocean floor?! And that I found this one in (guess where!) Lake Michigan in Petosky, Michigan, while sitting by the lake's edge as the the current brought them in? I polished and set the stone, fabricated the caddisfly larva and then brought them together in a union of eras and Sterling. The pin is 1 3/4" wide by 1 1/4" tall.

Tadpoles are cool. Case closed. And even cooler is that they transform into frogs in stages that are visible to the world...from a pair of little back legs, adding front legs next, tail recedes, et voila! A frog is born! This necklace is a celebration of this process, and really all of life on Planet Earth that has evolved to coexist, survive and thrive. I have carved the tadpole out of melted Sterling silver. It is not cast, and is truly an original one-of (a-kind). S/he (your choice) is soldered onto a whirlpool-like wire frame, and embellished with a watery-blue moonstone. It measures 1" by 1 1/4" and hangs from an 18" Sterling chain. It's a reminder of just how magical our world is.
