Theia's Folly
DESCRIPTION
Greek mythology has given birth to many legends of gods and goddesses. No other goddess personifies jewellery in all its glory than Theia. Theia was the Titan goddess of sight and the shining ether of the bright, blue sky. She also has dominion over precious metals and gems. She endows gold, silver and gems with their brilliance and value. Aptly she is also the mother of the three “bright” children: Helios (the Sun), Eos (the Dawn), and Selene (the Moon).
Given her powers over all things bright and brilliant, it is only apropos that I pay homage to her with an equally bright and brilliant necklace. Theia’s Folly features 2 beautiful German glass doublets beautifully faceted to show off its beauty and brilliance. The bold centerpiece is suspended from 2 elegant herringbone ribbons.
