Ondine

The waves of life's tempests can overwhelm us, or they can carry us forward on the voyage of our soul. The spirit of the waters, Ondine, lives within you, ready to show you how to embrace her ever-changing element. Carry her with you in this rosary necklace, made of soft blue-grey Czech fire-polished glass, with accents of Swarovski crystal and finished with a shining pure silver shell. The amulet is an early 20th century optician's lens, with hand-painted art paper and vintage text on the reverse, with a wee bit of pentimento text peeking through (the background looks purply here, but is actually a soft blue). The art is by the wonderful Arthur Rackham.
