The Siren Collection
Inspired by some of my favorite Greek mythology, the “Siren Collection” is an epic of hand-cast bronze jewelry I hope Hephaestus would approve. Each piece is a symbolic, talismanic nod to a god, goddess or legend. They are handmade with bronze, semi-precious stones, 14K gold-filled chain and ear wires, meaning they’re high quality and carefully crafted. This is the most meaningful collection of handmade jewelry I’ve ever designed, and I hope it speaks to your soul. Maybe you’ll see yourself reflected in the glimmering bronze, or maybe in the stories each piece has to tell.
The Minotaur Bull Skull Necklace with Marbled Howlite
The Minotaur Bull Skull Necklace with Marbled Howlite
Half human and half bull, the ferocious and beautiful Minotaur dwelled in the labyrinth made by Daedalus to contain it. Youths were sacrificed to the Minotaur inside the winding maze, from which they couldn’t escape. With the help of Ariadne, who tells him that Daedalus’s trick to reemerging from the labyrinth is to unwind a ball of thread as he traveled inside so that he could retrace his steps, the hero Theseus volunteered himself to be sacrificed, then found and slew the Minotaur with his bare hands.
The Minotaur Necklace features a handmade solid bronze bull’s skull, affixed to a 14K gold-filled chain by its horns. Two round beads of howlite accent the necklace, mimicking the marble of ancient Greek sculpture. The 14K gold-filled chain measures approximately 17 inches long, and the handmade bull skull charm measures approximately 1 1/4 inches from top to bottom. This necklace is available in .999 fine silver upon request.
The Minotaur Necklace is designed to pair with the marbled howlite variety of the Gemstone Gold-Filled Hoop Earrings.
Because of the unique nature of handmade jewelry, each piece of bronze or silver jewelry may have very slight variations. This jewelry is handmade in my North Little Rock, Arkansas, studio.
