The Raven bird skull pendant or charm is handcrafted in solid sterling silver and symbolises a connection to nature and the ethereal beauty of avian birds such as corvids and ravens. It represents freedom, perspective, and the delicate balance of life.

The Raven, or Hrafn in Old Norse, is tied to Odin the All Father, germanic pagan god of knowledge, wisdom, and healing. As well as war and victory. From his seat in Asgard, Odin is served by Huginn and Muninn, his loyal ravens. Whilst Huginn represents ‘memory’, Muninn represents ‘thought’, as they allow Odin to see all that happens across the realms.

The Raven is also known as Bran across Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. And it shows that ravens have been acknowledged, respected, and even worshipped for centuries if not millenia. Perhaps in recognition of their natural intelligence and cunning.

This unique Memento Mori piece captures the essence of the natural world, serving as a reminder of the elegance and mystery that birds embody.
And so, this solid silver piece brings together two different ranges of my jewellery collections: Natural World and Supernatural Realms.

How they are made and sizes.

The Raven was made using a raven skull mold with 950 silver metal clay pushed into it, when dried and baked in the kiln it turns into sterling solid silver. Then I add a beautiful large Albert style clasp, so it is then able to be universal and can be added to layer pendants at different lengths, as shown with the monstera pendant in the pictures. Then I add a non toxic liver of sulphur to create the blackened finish before polishing once again. Last but not least, a renaissance wax is added to help reduce tarnishing and protect the finish. All my items are handcrafted and although I do try to make each piece identical, there will be some very small differences that make them unique. It can be added onto earrings or bracelets, adding to your own unique style.

Measurements approximately 12mm wide, top of skull to beak 30mm, top of clasp to beak 49mm.
