Mother Celi. Etruscan Earth Goddess Necklace of Brass and Lapis.

Bold and rustic yet refined, this necklace is by inspired by the Etruscan Earth Goddess, Celi.

• I've hand-patina'ed the Etruscan-inspired lunula of brass so it has an ancient looking patina
• 9 faceted lapis lazuli stones hang from the crescent
• 9 is a sacred, feminine number which appears across all pagan faiths; in this necklace it gives a feeling of opulence and completion
• Necklace closes with an elegant toggle clasp and comes in your choice of lengths: 16" (41cm) 18" (46cm) or 20" (51cm)
• Shown here in the 16" (41cm) length on my UK size 14 mannequin with a 15"(38cm) neck

Celi was the Etruscan Earth goddess and the mother of giants. She has skirts of tangled vegetation. On the Liver of Piacenza, a bronze model of a liver used as a guide to haruspicy, or divination using entrails, she appears in house 13. Fun fact.

All my jewellery is made by hand by my partner Mike and myself in a converted 18th century naval school on the wild North coast of Scotland. All pieces come gift wrapped.
