The Neptune Collection - Sterling Silver Pendant - Owl and Opal (14mm)

Sterling silver pendant features opal gemstones on the wings and the classic icon of an owl (koukouvagia), which is the traditional Greek symbol of wisdom - with gleaming blue non-precious stone eyes. The opal is iridescent meaning the look and reflections change when you view it from different directions. The back of the pendant has a fine "punched silver" texture. The generous-sized sterling silver ring attached to the top (loop approx. 3mm) allows this beautiful charm to be strung on almost any chain or cord of your choice.

Silver snake chains and rubber cords are available separately for all pendants. Follow the links below:

History
In Greek and Roman mythology, Glaucus (Greek: Γλαῦκος, Glaukos, "glaring (eyes)") is the symbolic owl of Athena or Minerva, respectively. Often referred to as the "owl of Athena" or "owl of Minerva", it accompanies Minerva in Roman myths, seen as a symbol of wisdom because the owl is capable of seeing even in the dark and of vigilance because the owl is awake at night.
