Vulture
The Sun Bathing Vulture is a one of a kind piece made in sterling silver. At its center lies a flashy blue kite shaped labradorite. Below dangles a white sapphire.
I wanted this piece to be extra beautiful since vultures are rarely appreciated for their true beauty. It’s an homage to them.
It also symbolizes warmth and renewal, and a reminder to stop and notice all of the beauty of this world and its incredible creatures.
It hangs in 18” chain. The pendant measures 2”
And now some fun vulture facts ~
Vultures don’t kill. They consume what is already dead then return it to the Earth. Natures peaceful recyclers.
In ancient Egypt, the vulture goddess Nekhbet was a protector of pharaohs and symbol of motherhood.
Among the Plains tribes, vultures symbolize renewal, cleansing, and the sacred cycle of death and rebirth.
Vultures can digest bacteria like anthrax and botulism without harm. Their stomach acid is so powerful it neutralizes deadly toxins.
They mate for life.
They enjoy a good sun bath, spreading their wings to catch the warmth
