The Power of Myth
Eilisain Jewelry represents my fascination and appreciation for myth stories and
the power and understanding we receive from applying them to our own lives.
Every piece of Eilisain jewelry is handcrafted using found animal parts, rough coral and gemstones, animal teeth, and of course the alchemial properties of metal. My hope is to provide you with jewelry that carries the vitality of myth and belief that objects (adornment) can transform your perspective and appearance.
The story of Eilisain really begins when I found the name, Eilisain (I-li-sean) at a Celtic fair, I went to a booth where you can have your name translated into Gaelic. Of course I was curious and had my name, Lisette translated and thus is Eilisain meaning "Consecrated to God". I have always found cultural mythologies fascinating; creation stories and how varied and yet similar they are. Eilisain seemed so appropriate for my future jewelry business.
The Keeper Turtle Spine Ring
The Keeper Turtle Spine Ring
The Keeper is the one between two worlds, earth and water, the turtle. These beautifully intricate earrings are created from the inside of a turtle shell, this bone holds the turtle’s tissue to the shell.
In the Celtic history and lore the turtle is known as the keeper to the doors of the faerie realm; thus I chose The Keeper. Turtles sense vibrations through water and through their skin and shell, they are amazing survivors; with very good hearing and sense of smell. In the Far East the shell of a turtle is the symbol of heaven and the square underside a symbol of earth. The turtle is also one of the oldest reptiles and has one of the most ancient mythologies.
From Animal Speak book by Ted Andrews he writes "If turtle has shown up, it is time to get connected to your most primal essence. Go within your shell and come out when your ideas are ready to be expressed. It is time to recognize that there is an abundance out there for you."
The turtle spine ring can be cast in your choice of bronze, sterling silver or 18kt gold plated bronze or sterling silver.
