"Caer and Aengus" Blank Card
Regular price $3.50The Myth of Caer and Aengus:
This is a very condensed version of the myth. Caer Ibormeith was a Celtic goddess of dreams and prophecy. She often took the form of a swan with a golden necklace. One night she visited the Celtic god of love and beauty, Aengus, in his sleep, where he fell in love with her. When he awoke, he sought out her father for permission to woo her. Her father told Aengus that he could marry her if he could pick out Caer from a group of 150 swans on the lake. He found her and called her to him, and asked her to be his wife. She agreed wholeheartedly, on the condition that he, too, turn into a swan. And so together they flew over the lake, singing a song so sweet that it lulled everyone who heard it to sleep for three days.
This 4" x 5.5" card comes with an envelope and sealed in a protective sleeve.

Fine Jewelry Lifetime Warranty
"Fine jewelry", for purposes of this company's warranty, is defined as any jewelry that is made from pure silver, sterling silver, or gold. If at any point your piece becomes damaged or needs its size adjusted, repairs will be made for free with free shipping to and from the artist. If the piece is damaged beyond repair due to no fault of the artist, a replacement can be made and sent for 50% of the original price.
Fashion Jewelry Two Year Limited Warranty
"Fashion jewelry", for the purposes of this company's warranty, is defined as any jewelry that does not fall under the "fine jewelry" umbrella. If at any point within your first two years of purchase your piece becomes damaged or needs its size adjusted, repairs will be made for free with free shipping to and from the artist. If the piece is damaged beyond repair due to no fault of the artist within those first two years, a replacement can be made and sent for 50% of the original price.
“Ethical jewelry” refers to jewelry that has been made with socially and environmentally conscious methods. Ethical materials used to make the jewelry are able to be traced back to their original source. For gemstones, this means making sure the mine and cutting facility practices safe and healthy work environments, and that the workers are paid a fair wage.
For metals, ethical practices also include using recycled metals. Recycled metals are no less pure than mined metals. Recycled metals are made from scraps, scrapings, filings, and sometimes electronics, that are processed and then refined back into pure precious metals.
On top of that, the actual creation of the jewelry pieces also needs to be made with ethical practices, and all companies involved from mine to market must guarantee no human rights abuses, no child labor, and no war profits.
So, how does Silver Lily Studio ensure the jewelry it sells is ethical? For one, all the materials we use are bought from suppliers who are committed to sustainable environmental and socially conscious practices. Most of our metals and stones come from Rio Grande, who is one of the world’s biggest suppliers to the jewelry industry. Their gemstones are able to be traced from mine to market. They also use a vast amount of recycled metals for their findings and fabrication metals. The few other suppliers we use are researched thoroughly before purchases are made, to make sure their materials are up to our ethical standard.
In addition to buying from reputable suppliers, all pieces are hand made in the studio by one artist. No factories are manufacturing our pieces, which means you don’t have to worry about inadvertently supporting a manufacturer that abuses its employees.
And there you have it! I hope you enjoyed this bit of information, and that it helps you make informed decisions on your future jewelry purchases!
"Kelpie" Blank Card
Regular price $3.50"Kelpie"
The best-known of the Scottish water horses who haunted rivers. Before storms, he would be heard howling and wailing.

He was suspected of sometimes devouring them.

"The Guardian" Blank Card
Regular price $3.50In Celtic mythology, the dragon was believed to be of a world that was parallel to the physical world. It was thought, by the Druids, that the dragon’s power affected the ley of the land. They believed that the path the dragons took was important to the flow of energy through the physical world. Areas where a dragon passed often, where dragon paths crossed or places a dragon stopped to rest became more powerful than the areas surrounding it.

"Fae Winds" Blank Card
Regular price $3.50"Will o' the Wisp"
It is given several origins and is often considered a death omen. Sometimes it is thought to be a tricksy boggart, sometimes it is ghostly in origin, a soul who for some sin could not rest. For instance, Will the Smith was debarred from both Heaven and Hell. The most the Devil would do for him was to give him a piece of burning pit coal to warm himself, which he flickers over boggy ground to lure poor wanderers to their death.
