Raven Earings - Sterling Silver

Peter Stone Sterling Silver 2.3cm pendant.

According to Native American belief, ravens are powerful. They're birds with dark feathers that are sacred and mysterious. They can give the added courage needed to take new steps, and can symbolise an impending change in consciousness. This could be changing your path in life, moving house, taking a new job or going traveling.

Ravens are also associated with magic and healing. They're believed to have the power to guide the healing process, bringing about a new reality and getting rid of disease and illness. To wear or have around you symbols of ravens can help with the intention of developing courage, being courageous in your daily life and the hopeful expectation of magical events The pentagram was considered by the ancient Greeks and medieval astrologers to have supernatural properties and to be a protective symbol. Often in the past people would mark their doors with pentagrams to ward off evil witchcraft and spirits.

In positive magic today (with the top pointed upwards) it is often used as a symbol to support transmission and communication with the spirit world. Its five points are often seen to represent the four classic elements of earth, water, air and fire joining with the fifth element of spirit to create life. A five-pointed star (pentagram) with a circle around it is referred to as a pentacle. This circle represents sacred space in which the fifth element of spirit controls the four earthly elements.

Also in the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight a pentacle adorns his shield representing the five knightly virtues of generosity, courtesy, chastity, brotherly love and piety.

The Peter Stone Company purchases raw silver and produces their own true .925 sterling silver alloy in their own factory. All rings are cast to size and craftsmen cut and inlay each stone for a perfect fit. Every piece of jewellery created is hand polished not tumble polished, which leads to a high quality finish that is noticeably different.
