7 Impossible Things, Double Winged Serpents Pendant
A pair of winged serpents play chase around a flashy inverted pear shaped spectrolite in shades of purple, gold, cobalt and mauve. Pendant measures roughly 3" long and is suspended on an 18" sterling silver chain. **Please see all images to view spectrolite in different lighting situations and for a sense of scale while worn.
A blend of earth and air, the winged serpent is a symbol of sweeping change, the perfect amulet or touchstone of strength for the new epoch ahead of us.
Winged serpents are considered harbingers of new ways of relating to the world around us. In alchemy the serpent is a symbol of purification, and in Greek Mythology Eros is sometimes represented as a winged serpent; his arrows break down routine with the power of love and utterly destroy outmoded ways of thinking.
Almost all ancient traditions see the snake as a symbol of rebirth and regeneration, growth and higher consciousness. When worn, a winged serpent is a powerful talisman rooted in the firm desire for a glittering world ahead.
*** Conceived of and created for a Penland School Auction to create equity in arts education, I envisioned this pendant as a harbinger of a coming great change.

It is infused with inspiration from my deep connection and appreciation of Nature, combined with my curiosity, and a desire to honor the balance of dark and light within each of us. Each piece I craft reflects quality, artisanship, and just a touch of magic.
