Collection: Ladybird

This handcrafted silver jewellery collection features a much loved garden mini beast, the red ladybird. The name ‘ladybird’ originated in Britain where the insects became known as ‘Our Lady's bird’ after the Virgin Mary who was often depicted wearing a red cloak in early paintings. These distinctive spotty beetles are considered lucky in many cultures and in the Netherlands, is an anti- violence symbol, often placed on the sites of fatal crimes.
