Sterling Silver Rock Cairn Necklace - 5 Rocks

Alternative Views:

Hand-made in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, this necklace is made with five sterling silver "stones". They are rounded like beach stones that have been tossed by the tide for decades, and illustrate the nuances of sterling silver beautifully.

The cairn is arranged from biggest to smallest "stone"; the necklace represents the rock cairns used historically as trail markers over many of Maine's magnificent granite peaks.

This necklace is also available with two, three or four 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.
