Odysseus's Medal. Bracelet | Black Rutilated Quartz, White Crackle Agate, Smoky Quartz | Crystal Fine Jewelry

✦ Design Philosophy ✦ Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca in western Greece, participated in the Trojan War. In the tenth year of the war, he conquered the city using the Trojan Horse strategy. Afterward, he embarked on a ten-year journey, facing numerous dangers before finally returning home to reunite with his family. This story is chronicled in the epic poem, "The Odyssey." Odysseus was aided by Nausicaa, the princess of Phaeacia, yet he refused her proposal of marriage. He overcame the allure of the Sirens' enchanting songs, navigated past the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis, and resisted the Calypso's seven-year detention, finally returning to his homeland of Ithaca alone in the tenth year. Odysseus's exploits are described in detail in Homer's epics, the earliest epic poems in ancient Greek literature. ------------------- The story begins in the first dream, Where starlight twinkled just for me, I saw that even an ordinary me, Could have an extraordinary moment. The unknown lies ahead, the sea breeze meets me, The Sirens' song may tempt me to forget my original intention, But I will be like Odysseus, Heading towards the direction of my heart, Even if the gods try to block my way. When I need to stand alone on a distant battlefield, My dreams held tight become my weapon, And all the wounds I've endured are my medals. Life only moves forward, those who hold firm to their beliefs are heroes, My dreams held tight become my weapon, No matter how long the road ahead may be, I set sail again, carrying my medals. - Medals ✦ Dimensions & Materials ✦ ● 7-9MM Irregular Smoky Quartz Chips ● 8MM Black Rutilated Quartz ● 8MM White Crackle Agate ● Approx. 13MM Hand-Painted White Enamel Medal Charm ● Pure Copper 14K Gold Plated Fittings ● Imported Japanese Elastic Cord ● Product ID: AT189 ✦ Crystal Energies ✦ ● Smoky Quartz Stability and grounding, enhances taste and sophistication, promotes restful sleep, boosts immunity, improves sleep quality, heals the mind, body, and spirit, offers protection against evil, replenishes spiritual energy. ● Black Rutilated Quartz Dispels negative energy, wards off misfortune, protects the wearer, absorbs negativity, aids in career success, is a stone of leadership, enhances personal aura, clears negative energy. ● White Quartz / White Crackle Agate The King of Crystals, balances emotions, maintains stable and positive frequencies, elevates energy fields, dissipates negative energy. ※ White Crackle Agate is a special type of crystal created by heating natural white quartz to around 400 degrees Celsius, then repeatedly immersing it in ice water. ✦ Purchase Notice ✦ 1.
