Two-Sided Flying Bat Charm

- About 1 inch wide x 3/8 inch tall (excluding hanger) x about 1/8 inch thick (27 x 11mm)
- Item number: wh110
With its outstretched wings and splayed feet, this miniature bat makes a striking charm or pendant. An oxidized finish technique darkens the sterling silver and highlights the details of the bat's anatomy – especially the long 'fingers' that are the framework for the wings. If you look closely you can see that the facial features are also well-defined. And it's a two-sided charm, so the back is done just as nicely as the front.
Personalize one of your favorite pendants by pairing it with this charm. Or, because this is a slightly larger charm, it can be worn by itself as a necklace. You can also visit our 'Charms & Charm Bracelets' category to create your own personalized bracelet.
Bats are nocturnal animals – creatures of the night - which is probably the main reason why they're so closely associated with death and evil. And there actually does exist such a thing as the 'vampire bat', a species of bat that feeds on blood.
But bats are misunderstood. For example, most bats - about 80% of them - are voracious insect-eaters. So much so, in fact, that bats are a major source of the earth's natural pest control. Plus, like the birds and bees, they pollinate flowers and spread seeds. So while it's fun to think of bats in connection with vampires and Dracula, it also does them credit to recognize that they are an important and beneficial part of our ecosystem – and have been for millions of years.
