Lady Enodia
Lady Enodia - our namesake. Enodia is one of the many epitaphs of the great goddess, Hecate. In her form as Enodia, she is the guardian of the crossroads. This symbology felt especially important to me, not only in my life - but in the world right now.
The Scorpion is an ancient liminal creature - surviving both under the bright, white heat of the sun - and the dark depths of subterranean habitats. They hunt at night with a fierceness that sets them above creatures much larger and possesses both poison - and the antidote for it’s own sting. The Scorpion is also the zodiac of my late brother whose sudden death in 2023 has forever changed the trajectory of my life and my spiritual practice.
Wear this talisman when you ready to explore the darker places - when you need a reminder that you can truly cure your own ailments.
Charm measures approx. .75 - 1" across - on 18" 14k plated chain with zirconia.
About Collection:
I have always been fascinated with ancient coins and talismans. As such, each of these amulets is carved by hand individually to mimic what might be unearthed beneath sacred soil. Any stamping I use in my designs are from my own drawings. While each individual design is relatively the same, please expect small difference in shape and markings as they are individually carved, oxidized and polished. I hope this adds to the feeling that your amulet is yours and yours alone.
I work in Precious Metal Clay (PMC). This is a clay-like substance made up of very small particles of pure silver and an organic binder. Once sculpted and dried, I torch fire the clay and the binder burns off, leaving behind a design in pure .999 silver. I then hand-oxidize each piece and polish to create the look of ancient artifacts.
All of the stones in the Periapta collection areAAAAA (meaning the highest) quality Cubic Zirconia. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, the heat needed to torch PMC would discolor, and in many cases, crack or shatter nearly all other stones. Secondly, and of equal importance, my personal style has always leaned towards a delicate balance of rough and refined. What better way to execute this look than by burying brilliant stones in the depths of dark amulets. It serves as a reminder that the torch is always lit and guiding us towards the light.
Caring:
Pure silver is softer that sterling silver. As such, please be careful with your piece and do not attempt to bend or allow it to bang around too much. Sterling contains other metals to enhance its strength. This also means that sterling is prone to natural oxidation. Pure silver is not. I do hand oxidize each piece in this collection, but please note that if you choose to shower, bath, swim, etc. in your amulet, the oxidation will fade. I am happy to re-oxidize your piece at no charge once a year. Any additional oxidation is $15 per piece.
