Gryphon Tear

…The stone pit where nobody had ever found any treasure was filled with wonderful warm salty water, clear as crystal but with moonlight and starlight caught in its depths. Mr. Ingoldsby saw at once what had happened. The Griffon’s tears had rolled down the hill and had filled the pit… It was almost like having a midsummer seaside on your very doorstep.
- The Midnight Story on Griffon Hill, Margaret Mahy

This lovely pendant was inspired by majestic gryphon of lore, and features two winged gryphon flanking a beautiful Heliotrope Swarovski Crystal. The stone glitters like a piece of the midnight sky against layers of intricate brass filigree, beautifully aged to create the perfect look.
