Oshun - 2018
An Oshun is a Yoruba Orisha of the sweet or fresh waters. She is widely loved, as she is known for healing the sick and bringing fertility and prosperity, watching over the poor and bringing them what they need. As Orisha of love, Oshun is represented as a beautiful, charming and coquettish young woman. In some tales, she is said to be a mermaid, with a fish's tail.
A stunning handmade necklace dedicated to Oshun, the African river goddess of luxury and pleasure, sexuality and fertility, beauty and love. A polymer clay faux ebony pendant, aged and soulful has colourful seed bead tassels on either side. The beads are handmade polymer clay and agate interspersed with rustic ceramic beads from Greece and bronze sun beads from Kenya.

A strong toggle clasp to finish a necklace that is about 25" long.
Wear it with your summer gear, white shirts, T-shirts and lagenlook clothing to blow people away and sizzle this summer and over jumpers in drab winter weather to cheer yourself up, A necklace for the brave who dare to be interesting and to not follow the herd!
