In folklore from around the world, ladybugs are associated with good fortune, true love and the Virgin Mary. A Swedish name for the insects, Himmelska nycla, means “Keys of Heaven.”
Ladybugs are especially lucky for gardeners because they eat other insects such as aphids and mites, protecting plants from damage and disease.
Have a lucky ladybug with you wherever you go, with this vintage enamel and rhinestone brooch, measuring 1 x 1 ¼ inches and ½ inch high.
Unique single item, purchased at an estate sale. Based on some internet research, it may date back to the 1960s or 1970s, but I am not an expert. Whether it’s six years or sixty years old, it’s in great condition and the red enamel is a beautiful, deep red shade.
