In ancient Grecian myth, Iris is the messenger goddess personified by the Rainbow. She bridges the gap between the celestial and earthly realms by crossing the rainbow to deliver messages from the heavens. A divine connection. As we wear this necklace, we call in the magic of Iris, embodying the role of divine messenger and mediator, becoming a channel of communication and connection between all planes of existence.
The story of Calypso is a cautionary tale about the complexity of human desires and the importance of staying true to one's principles, even in the face of seductive distractions. In Greek mythology, she is the daughter of the Titan Atlas described as a beautiful, alluring nymph residing on the mythical island of Ogygia. Calypso represents the allure of immediate pleasure and the temptations that can distract individuals from their ultimate goals and responsibilities. Her island alludes to a kind of paradise that can ensnare people in a life of comfort and indulgence, at the cost of personal growth and connection with one's true purpose. Wear these tailsmans as a reminder to stay true to your purpose, to your North Star.
The pearls are connected to the totem of the oyster, once softened and opened, a great treasure is revealed. This necklace's totemic nature is a channel for communication with the divine, a talisman for staying true to one's true purpose, and an invitation for treasures to reveals oneself.
This particular necklace also has a purple evil eye bead strung on it on acting as an additional emblem of protection.
**Disclaimer: These shells are hearty but delicate, dropping them, sleeping with them, any form of pressure risks breaking them.
