A few smaller tourmaline's capped in sterling silver swinging off delicate sterling chains.

It is no secret that I love tourmalines. The black tourmaline is known as the elemental bodyguard, a true powerhouse of cleansing energy. This remarkable stone keeps you grounded and shields you from the clutches of anxiety, allowing you to navigate life with a sense of peace and strength. They are super bad ass super cleanser, that grounds, empowers and protects. They have the ability to cut right through spirally thoughts and get you to listen and trust you gut instinct! It can be very useful if you suffer from anxiety and it is the perfect repellent against energy vampires. They also look like they have been lifted up from the earths core. Love them. Along side all this, it also attracts good luck and prosperity as well. 

In Greek mythology, the Horae (or Horai, meaning “hours” or “seasons”) were goddesses who personified natural order, time, and seasonal cycles. Originally associated with the progression of nature, their role later expanded to include law, justice, and social harmony. Depicted as harmonious figures, the Horae embodied the balance that governed both the natural world and human society.

Traditionally regarded as the daughters of Zeus and Themis, the Titaness of divine law, the Horae upheld cosmic order through the regulation of the seasons and the maintenance of justice. In early myths, they were closely linked to agriculture and fertility, ensuring prosperity through the orderly flow of nature. Over time, they came to represent justice (Dike), lawfulness (Eunomia), and peace (Eirene), reflecting the Greek belief that social order, like nature, depends on balance and fairness.

 

1. Eunomia (Good Order) - 7 g / 26.5 cm

Eunomia personifies lawfulness and good governance. She is associated with the legal systems and institutions that maintain peace and stability in society. Her role is to ensure that laws are fair and that rulers govern with wisdom and justice. As the embodiment of lawful order, Eunomia represents the structure that allows civilization to thrive.

In her connection with nature, Eunomia also reflects the orderly progression of the seasons and the cycles of growth, ensuring that everything happens at its proper time. In this way, she balances the natural world’s rhythms with the social structures of human civilization.


2. Dike (Justice) - 7 g / 24 cm

Dike represents justice and fairness, particularly as it applies to human actions and behavior. As a goddess, she presides over the moral law that governs both gods and mortals, making sure that justice is served and that wrongdoers are punished. Dike is often depicted holding a set of scales, symbolizing the balance of justice.

Dike’s presence in Greek mythology highlights the importance of moral law, which was considered just as important as natural law. She ensures that those who act unjustly are held accountable, reinforcing the Greek belief that justice is an inherent part of the universe’s order.


3. Eirene (Peace) - 7 g / 23 cm

Eirene is the goddess of peace, prosperity, and harmony. Her role is to maintain the tranquility that comes when laws are followed and justice is upheld. As a bringer of peace, Eirene was particularly venerated during times of war, when her presence was seen as a promise of future harmony.
