The Power of Myth
Eilisain Jewelry represents my fascination and appreciation for myth stories and
the power and understanding we receive from applying them to our own lives.
Every piece of Eilisain jewelry is handcrafted using found animal parts, rough coral and gemstones, animal teeth, and of course the alchemial properties of metal. My hope is to provide you with jewelry that carries the vitality of myth and belief that objects (adornment) can transform your perspective and appearance.
The story of Eilisain really begins when I found the name, Eilisain (I-li-sean) at a Celtic fair, I went to a booth where you can have your name translated into Gaelic. Of course I was curious and had my name, Lisette translated and thus is Eilisain meaning "Consecrated to God". I have always found cultural mythologies fascinating; creation stories and how varied and yet similar they are. Eilisain seemed so appropriate for my future jewelry business.

The Hunted Double owl talons with gemstone
Call upon the power and strength of birds of prey with talon earrings. You'll feel fierce, edgy and very bad-ass! There is a lovely delicate and striking combination of oxidized (blackened) bronze and high shine of the talon.
***This style of the popular talon earrings received an upgrade with a gemstone between the talons to add extra bling and pop. (Also this was a customers idea - thank you Amanda).
Earrings measure 1 inch in length, and .50 in width. Sits comfortably in earlobe. Earring backs are made of sterling silver and sterling backs (plastic disk provides a secure fit). These are not heavy and are comfortable to wear.
**Owl Symbology: "To the ancient Greeks the owl was associated with the goddess Athena, and it was a symbol of higher wisdom. To the early Christian Gnostics the owl is associated with Lilith, the first wife of Adam who refused to be submissive to him. Owl Medicine is symbolically associated with clairvoyance, astral projection and magic, both black and white." - Ted Andrews, Animal Speak book.

These are made to order and 5-6 weeks to create (depending on style, if it’s gold plated or with a gemstone).

What customers have said about these earrings: "I worked at Nordstrom for a l-o-n-g time, so I have tons of jewelry. This is my second pair of these (double owl talon earrings) because I gave the other pair to a lady in my veterinarian's office who rescues owls. I wear these constantly. They make me look much cooler than I really am. Thank you!" - Christine H.
