The GRIFFIN necklace features a carnelian gem, intricately hand-engraved with an intaglio depiction of a griffin. This mythical creature, a fusion of lion and eagle, boasts the body, tail, and hind legs of a lion, complemented by the wings, front talons, and head of an eagle. Often depicted with cat-like ears, the griffin embodies the dominion over both birds and beasts, symbolizing the mastery of both air and land. Historically, this majestic beast was seen as a guardian of royal treasures, safeguarding gold and other priceless possessions.
Originating from ancient lore, the griffin migrated to the far north, where it vigilantly watches over the verdant riches of lush forests. By the medieval era in Europe, the griffin evolved into an allegorical symbol representing the complex dualities of good and evil. As a custodian of treasure, it signifies wisdom and knowledge, but its fierce nature, represented by its formidable claws, also embodies the potential for injury and cruelty.
Wearing this amulet transforms it into a protective talisman. The griffin serves as a guardian, shielding the wearer from harm while empowering their spirit with protective energies.
