The Spirit of Nature
Dryads are tree spirits from Greek mythology, often depicted as beautiful, ethereal women who embody the essence of trees and the forest. Traditionally, dryads were specifically the spirits of oak trees, but over time, the term has come to represent nymphs of all types of trees. These mystical beings are closely tied to their trees, sharing their lifespans and life force. Dryads are neutral entities, neither inherently good nor evil, but they wield significant power over nature and can form alliances with witches and other magical beings.
This handmade copper medallion captures the spirit of a dryad, etched with intricate details. The Dryad Pendant, with its contrasting black surface and highlighted relief, features a dryad with a glowing green core in her chest, symbolizing nature’s energetic heart that sustains the forest. This piece is a tribute to the mystical and powerful nature spirits, appealing to those who feel a deep connection with the natural world and its magic. The Dryad Pendant will hold a charge for some time after being exposed to light. While it charges best in sunlight, normal house lighting works too. Over time, its glow will fade, settling to a soft luminescence visible only in total darkness.
This Listing includes a UV blacklight keychain which allows you to charge the Pendant anywhere you go.
Note: To keep copper jewelry from tarnishing, store it in a dry, airtight container and avoid exposure to moisture and air.
