On close inspection, the ladybird/bug is an interesting thing. They are brightly coloured to ward away potential predators; are beneficial to gardeners as they feed on scale insects, mealybugs, and mites throughout the year. Tradition says that one's wish is granted if a ladybird lands on oneself. In Italy, it is said by some that if a ladybird flies into one's bedroom, it is considered good luck. In central Europe, a ladybird crawling across a girl's hand is thought to mean she will get married within the year. In some cultures they are referred to as lucky bugs (Turkish: uğur böceği).
But if the real thing doesn't capture your heart, we're sure that the Zadora LadyBug timepiece will. Executed in textured 18kt yellow gold, this harbinger of good luck is micro pavé set with richly colored rubies and black diamond details with cabochon emerald eyes.
To have one is to already to be very lucky.
