A beautiful carved banded agate moth pendant, with old-cut diamond eyes, 15ct gold mount and integral chain.
Moths feature across many cultures. They are the messengers from the spirit world, mediators between the living and the dead, between light and darkness. They are thought to communicate messages from the spirits and so can be seen as a symbol for enlightenment or spiritual enlightenment.
If you are searching for personal growth, change and higher truth, this is the animal for you.
The duality of the moth is a reminder that we need all of ourselves to be whole. Both our shadow and light, yin and yang, positive and negative selves are necessary to reach greatness and align with the Universe’s path for us. Channel the moth’s energy and embrace the journey.

Length of chain 43cms (17 inches).
