In myth, to drink from the River Lethe meant you would experience forgetfulness of your previous life, often preparing your soul for reincarnation. Lethe is also the Goddess of oblivion, for whom the river is named. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSometimes at night when I'm trying to settle my thoughts and fall asleep, all of my worst memories surface, and I'm haunted by all my past mistakes. I often wish there was a way to erase these memories, that seem to transform and intensify any time they materialize. This is a talisman for this strange kind of time travel, and a wish for making peace with those moments in our past lives we wish to be free from and healed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBats\u003c\/strong\u003e and their cast wing and leg bones have long been a component I’ve used in my visual library as a way of creating a personal visual language. As nocturnal creatures, I feel a kinship with their natural predilection for the night time hours, but I’m also interested in how they use sonar to ‘see’, how as a metaphor bats as liminal creatures also remind us to look closer with our other senses, a way of ‘seeing the unseen.’ It’s my hope and intention that pairing them with other chthonic imagery and myth further adds to the visual meaning I’m aiming for, creating a collage of personal ideas while also tethering these physical jeweled objects to the spirit of the bat ( and other natural objects in the case of other jewels in my collection ) and to the spirit of the myths I’m invoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Details* :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 30 mm from top to bottom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 22 mm wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Sits 10 mm off the finger \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Set with one 18 x 30 mm pear cut labradorite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabradorite:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabradorite is known for its healing properties, in particular for its ability to relieve anxiety \u0026amp; melancholy. It is also said to be used to dispel negativity \u0026amp; fear, acting as a kind of psychic armor to protect against more troubling \u0026amp; turbulent emotions. As a 'sister' to moonstone, Labradorite is often associated with the more \"darker\" aspects of the Goddess, in her Crone form, full of the experience \u0026amp; wisdom of life and death, associated with the darker moon: waning through new moon phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also a stone of transformation, and is said to help those with intuitive gifts to awaken and realize their full potential as well as helping enhance creative talents. It also ranks as one of the most protective stones, shielding its wearer from negativity. Much like its 'sister' Moonstone, Labradorite has been used and worn in many cultures and tribes for both its incredible natural beauty, and for its potent magical properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges.
