In ancient mythology, Japan was sometimes referred to as Akitsushima, the “Land of Dragonflies,” and today dragonflies are still considered a symbol of boldness and strength. Interesting for creatures that have a short life span of only a few months to a few years.

But that just makes them a clear reminder that we should live each day to the fullest, right? And what a lovely reminder today’s VPOD is!

This whimsical vintage pendant necklace from the mid-1980s sparkles with 14k gold, cultured pearls, and ruby eyes.

It’s a sweet treat for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Beladora II.
