Sterling Silver Rock Cairn Necklace - 3 Rocks
  Sterling Silver Rock Cairn Necklace - 3 Rocks
 
Alternative Views:

This silver necklace is hand-made by Lisa Gent in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, with three sterling silver "stones." Like beach stones, they seem rounded by the tide, and beautifully illustrate the subtleties of sterling silver.

Arranged in a tier from biggest to smallest, they are not unlike the rock cairns used to guide hikers over many of Maine's awe-inspiring granite peaks.

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

Please allow 1-4 weeks for delivery.

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.
