Inspired by the Greek Gods of the four cardinal winds, known collectively as The Anemoi, this ring features Victorian design elements representing each wind God cradling a round rose cut onyx gemstone.

Throughout time, wind has been viewed as a direct connection to the divine, to our ancestor’s belief in God ( in whatever form that takes ), to Spirit, and to the Soul. It was and is believed to be a universal life force, unseen, yet felt, ushering in change, whether that be via calm or chaos. It can howl or whisper, it can be warm or cold, it can push or gently touch the body or objects as large as ships and buildings. It teaches us to bend and sway with it, rather than break against it. 

Considered to be a manifestation of the earth’s breath, it is also therefore associated with inspiration, which as etymological roots in breath; of the belief that a divine entity is breathing inspiration and influence into you. 

The four cardinal wind Gods: 

Zephyr, the gentle West wind and messenger of Spring

Eurus, the East Wind, associated with turbulent winds that effect ships in Mythology 

Boreas, the North Wind, Cold Wind 

Notos/Notus, The South Wind, that brings the storms during the end of summer into Autumn

These Greek Gods were personified as horses or as older bearded men, interestingly, their female mates were the Harpyiai, ( harpies ) and were considered “swift robbers” or sudden, sharp gusts of wind. They were later given their more known form of winged women, sharp clawed and dangerous, known to snatch sailors from their ships, sending them to their watery deaths. 

This ring is a talismanic vessel for change, inspiration and for emotional resilience in times of turbulence. Winds take on many forms and bring with them unseen gifts and dangers, and are uncontrollable variables of life, as nature and her wildness often is. Paired with Victorian design, this jewel is tethered to the past, when the beauty of design in even the simplest of things was more carefully considered. Whisper your desires, secrets and wishes into this pendant and share your breath, your wind with it, make it your own, or wear it simply for its beauty.

Onyx:

Onyx is best known for being a natural stone that acts as a kind of 'psychic armor' against the negativity of others. It is also used to soothe grief and heartbreak. It is a wonderful grounding stone and a stone of self mastery, enabling its wearers to have mental and spiritual focus.

This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. It has not been fabricated by a machine rather it hand cut and therefore might not be uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone and the cut.
