These are oxidised giving them an antiqued worn look. If you're looking for a highly polished piece then this isn't for you.
We do not recommend using the actual design of this pendant for wax seals, as it may irreparably damage the intricate antiqued detailing - using the pendant in this manner is at your own risk. We will NOT offer refunds or replacements for damage caused by using this with hot wax.

Corvus. Latin, 'Crow' or 'Raven'
Corvus is a small constellation in the southern hemisphere said to represent Apollo's crow.
In Greek mythology, Apollo transformed himself into the bird to escape the fearsome monster Typhon and thus the Crow became sacred to him.

| Jewellery lovers | This beautiful creatures exhibit an intriguing fascination with shiny objects, a behavior often dubbed "kleptoparasitism." From coins to discarded jewelry, these birds are drawn to reflective items. |
