From The Wondering Alchemist

An electroformed cicada wing encased in copper, with a dark rustic patina, suspended from a long copper chain.

Note, each pendant is made with a real, unique cicada wing, so each might vary slightly in color and shape from the photos. A few photo examples are provided.

  • Made in Portland
  • Pendant is approx ½ x 1½" inches
  • Chain is approx 18" inches
  • Note, copper commonly causes skin discoloration where it sits, and in some people may cause an allergic reaction. Not recommended if you have a metal allergy.
  • Wipe with a soft cloth to clean. Do not soak, or store in a damp area.

Based in Portland, Oregon, The Wondering Alchemist specializes in electroformed jewelry, with a variety of rocks and minerals, home goods, re-purposed/recycled goods, and more. Each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the nature of the electroforming process; pieced together and hand-assembled in their studio. 

From the artist: My name is Sierra Elizabeth. I am a 32yo mother to two wonderful cats and am an east coast transplant. I lived in NY for 14 years, PA for 14 years and moved to Portland in 2018.
I am a self taught electroformer and have been progressing my skills since 2016. My first love as a child was rock and mineral knowledge and that has followed me into adulthood. I also adore all things glass related and was a glassblower once upon a time. I pride myself in using natural elements in my art and have grown especially fond of plant identification because of that. My favorite bones are vertebrae, specifically the axis bone.

Alexander J. ★★★★★

I wasn't sure the wing would feel so delicate in real life, but the electroformed copper gives it a nice sturdy weight while keeping all the natural details visible. The chain length is perfect for layering with shorter pieces.

James ★★★★★

The patina on this one is darker and more weathered than the photos suggested, which I actually love — it feels like a tiny piece of ancient armor. The wing itself is incredibly delicate and clearly real, and I've gotten three compliments in one day wearing it.

Abigail T. ★★★★★

The patina on this copper is even richer in person, and the way the light catches the real wing inside is stunning. I love how lightweight it feels, too—almost like you’re not wearing anything.
