NEW HANDCAST Sterling Silver Celtic Nathair Necklace

SquareTrade © AP6.0

 Nathair means The Snake.  These animals were sacred to the Celts, who revered the snake as a messenger bringing wisdom from the underworld.  They were considered priests and priestesses equal to the Druids themselves.  The shedding of skin represented the transformations that occur within a person's life.  The retreat of the reptile underground served to show the introspection of the spiritual man or woman.  The hatching of their eggs was the sudden inspiration, insight, and realization that blessed their thoughts.  The Druids saw change as healthy and necessary, just like shedding the old wrappings.  In this piece, the snakes guard the heart (the center stone) from anything that would prohibit change and growth.  This handcast sterling pendant is accented with a glass crystal and hangs on a leather cord which can be tied to the desired length.  It comes on a story card to explain the traditions.  It is great wearable art, perfect for yourself or as a gift for someone who loves Celtic symbols. 

These pieces are hand made and will show the marks of their creator.  Pictures are representative of the basic theme; each one is unique!  Measurements are approximate.
