Two conjoined life cast wolf claws cradle a stunning Star Ruby cabochon. 

The wolf claw used here is from the early years of Blood Milk, when I first began molding and casting natural materia. It has since be sent to many people, and in this way, I believe, the Wolf lives on, immortal in sterling silver.

Many ancient cultures revered the Wolf, looking to it as symbol of protection, loyalty, intuition, and courage. It was also an animal that was feared, as it often attacked both humans and livestock. This fearsome aspect lent potency to its apotropaic qualities, as people would either wear wolf teeth or claws, or hang them in their homes to cast away negativity or evil spirits. Fangs were also carried for good luck, and in some cultures, were used to help children teethe or pass through rites of initiation.

Here, this amulet is meant to be protective ~ paired with Star Ruby, which is also a gemstone historically worn for protection against negativity, as well as worn for strength and good fortune, like the Wolf. Cradled between the twin claws, it acts as a glowing 'heart'. Shining with a 6 pointed star when light hits it just right, this star represents the union of the human and divine realms as well as representing, in alchemical literature, the 4 elements, or all that exists.
