These small sterling silver dragonfly earrings are an ideal gift for anyone.
 
A dragonfly is born underwater and lives in the dark before rising up to the light.
 
Dragonflies are born without wings, the nymphs hatch from an egg and undergo a series of moults whereby they shed their skin until they finally reach adulthood when they emerge from a former skin to reveal a new, winged body.
 
When the draonfly first emerges it is transparent and colourless, but once the sunlight hits its body, it becomes colourful, beautiful and magical.
 
These silver dragonfly earrings represent change and transformation. 
 
Gaia's quirky sterling silver jewellery is inspired by nature. If you love dragonflies and what they represent, the Silver Dragonfly Earrings are for you.
 
The Dragonfly
 
Today I saw the dragonfly
Come from the wells where he did lie.
An inner impulse rent the veil
Of his old husk: from head to tail
Came out clear plates of sapphire mail.
He dried his wings: like gauze, they grew;
Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew
A living flash of light he flew.
