Ancient Phoenix Pendant

Sale price Price Regular price Unit price  per 

The phoenix is wreathed in the myths and legends of cultures around the globe. Some say the tale of this mythical bird spun forth from Ancient Egyptian legend; the ba of Ra (The Bennu) that flew across the waters of Nun, landed upon a single rock and issued a call that brought the world into being. In other cultures this creature of the sun is said to live hundreds of years, before engulfing itself in a pyre of flame and emerging forth from the ashes anew. A symbol of eternity, strength and renewal, the Phoenix came to symbolise the Eternal City of Rome, depicted on the coins of the last Roman Empire. Like the bird itself, the tale of the phoenix endures on, even after the fall of empires. Perhaps this is because its story of rebirth and renewal is a story of hope. Hope not just for oneself, but for humanity and the world we live in.

SIZING

For a neck that is a touch masculine, we advise the 55cm and beware of the 37cm... It can choke.

Then for a more feminine neck, we advise around 44cm and below unless you’re feeling extra ‘street’.

The chart below was depicted from top-secret Nasa documents. Turns out, sometimes length and girth does matter.

All of them can be adjusted slightly.

MATERIALS AND DURABILITY

This collection is handcrafted from 100% recycled 925 sterling silver and each piece is silver to the very core. There's no plating. Every detail, every notch and mark oxidized in a way that will help it holdup through bodies of water, wear, tear and time... We forge our pieces to help them last the decades and hopefully lifetimes.


With durability in mind, we source our pure recycled silver from a leading Belgium/German based company, where it is refined at 330ppt oxygen level – crucial to crafting a high quality product. Our silver is refined slightly above the 92.5% silver mark and each piece is actually 93% silver. We also use some methods that help make it slightly stronger than your traditional sterling and four times more corrosion resistant which has been certifiably tested.

These little goodies are then carefully packed away in an old-school matchbox that we crafted from recycled cardboard, with an organic cotton canvas bag, our signature silver polish cloth, n’ a little more...

A Timeless Collection

The only collection where pieces are not 'Truly Limited Edition' but limited nonetheless. Slowly, with time, crafts will disappear forever or re-dreamed.

Starting 2024, this collection will never be the same. This will be known as the un-etched beginning. I feel like our true beginning.

The Core

Never Give Up Energy

Carved Slowly & Mindfully

Each piece is carved from 100% certified recycled silver, and packed in recycled cardboard. We also use 100% certified soy-based inks and are 100% plastic-free throughout our shipping and supply chain, besides our use of POLASTIC.

(A collaboration - helping clean up ocean-bound plastic).

We're still not perfect, but step by step, we're striving for change and hopefully, in the end, we'll leave this world in a better place than it was when we started.

Hand Carved & Forged To Last

They're slightly thicker in all the right places and carefully crafted from a slightly tougher sterling silver. They still need a lot of love and care, but if looked after, will last you generations.
