Sterling Silver Rock Cairn Necklace - 2 Rocks

Alternative Views:

Handcrafted by Lisa Gent in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, this necklace is made with two sterling silver "stones." Their fluid, spherical shapes reflect the work of time and the elements, and beautifully illustrate the nuances of sterling silver.

Arranged in a tier from biggest to smallest, they are not unlike the rock cairns used as path markers and guides over many of Maine's breath-taking granite peaks.

This necklace is also available with three, four or five rock cairns.

About

A traveller in ancient Greece might encounter a rock cairn at a crossing of roads. These cairns were dedicated to Hermes, the Greek god associated with boundaries and the travelers who cross them. Adding a stone to the rock cairn might grant you a safe journey from Hermes, though it wasn't a guarantee, for the patron of travellers was also known to be a trickster. With your own rock cairn necklace, may your path be clear and your travels serene.
