Griffin Charm Sterling Silver | Myth Jewelry | Made in USA
Half eagle, half lion — the griffin, cast in 4.6 grams of solid .925 sterling silver. At roughly 11/16" x 5/8", this mythical hybrid carries the heft and detail that only lost-wax casting can produce.
Molten sterling silver at over 1,640 degrees fills the mold under centrifugal force, capturing the eagle's beak and feathered wings alongside the lion's muscular body and clawed feet. The fusion of two distinct textures — smooth feathers above, rough fur below — is maintained through careful hand-finishing that preserves rather than blurs the boundary.
The griffin has guarded treasures and sacred spaces since ancient Mesopotamia, over 5,000 years ago. Greeks placed griffins at the entrance of Apollo's temple. Medieval Europeans carved them into church doors and noble crests. The combination of the king of beasts and the king of birds created the ultimate guardian — swift, fierce, and incorruptible.
An excellent gift for heraldry enthusiasts, mythology scholars, Dungeons and Dragons players, or anyone who considers themselves a protector. Sterling silver jump ring included and attached for immediate wear.
