Ruby Lightning Bug Charm

a lightning bug that's imbued with nostalgia, because of course it is. reminiscent of spinning barefoot till you’re so dizzy you crash into the soft dew soaked grass, tummy full of backyard bbq fixings and fingers sticky from the brightest blue popsicle. catching your breath for a moment, chasing your cousins & catching and releasing the fleeting flashes of light from lightning bugs in the muggy long island heat. the yellow-green glow, a painful yet pleasure able reminder of all the childhood joy and whimsy. a reminder to never lose it.

a 14k fly, or lightning bug, or whatever you want it to be - something fleeting you can now have forever strung around your neck as a reminder of all the hot summer nights spent under stars, jumping for lightning bugs. 

constructed entirely from a vintage pin I fell in love with, a one of a kind design.
