The Phoenix, Sterling Sølv

The 5000 year old Egyptian heiroglyph used in our pendant is known as "Bennu", and is the forerunner of the Greek myth of the Phoenix. In Greek literature, Herodotus tells of a bird who, every 500 years, senses its own impending death, and builds a funeral pyre of scented herbs. Sitting upon the pyre, the Phoenix sings the sweetest five note song imaginable, whereby the Sun rises, its rays ignite the pyre, and the bird is engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes. Out of the ashes comes a baby bird that gathers the previous remains in a ball of sweet smelling myhrr and flies to Heliopolis to bury the ashes of the last incarnation in the temple.

When you've gone through changes as dramatic as the Bennu, and have rebuild upon the ashes of a burnout situation, the phoenix is a totem of hope and achievement.

Each piece is accompanied by an 18" "Wheat Rope" chain, a genuine velvet presentation gift box and a small descriptive pamphlet.
