Handmade Garnet Silver Earrings - Heart's Desire
The fantastic dragon is so much a part of our shared mythology it is as if he lives a vivid second life beyond our collective imagination. The dragon is a totem creature in that he is powerfully symbolic to many of us. He is believed to be master of all elements—earth, wind, water, and, of course, fire. The dragon symbolizes power, magic, strength, and balance.
This mythic creature’s head rises from a center of carved fossilized mammoth ivory, creating a warm-toned palette in this sterling silver dragon necklace. The dragon’s head is also carved from mammoth ivory, a prized material that has lain buried in the earth or permafrost for many thousands of years before making its way back to the light and into this piece of art jewelry.
At over 15,000 years old, mammoth ivory may be more ancient than even the myth of the dragon.
Two faceted red garnet accent stones finish this sterling silver dragon pendant. Garnet is an energizing stone and is considered the stone of regeneration. Its name derives from a Latin word that means “seedlike” for its strong resemblance to ripe pomegranate seeds. Garnet gives this fiery pendant a touch of rich red sparkle.
