“Long ago, near the beginning of the world, Gray Eagle was the guardian of the Sun, Moon and Stars, of fresh water, and of fire. 
Gray Eagle hated people so much that he kept these things hidden. People lived in darkness, without fire and without fresh water.
Gray Eagle had a beautiful daughter, and Raven fell in love with her. In the beginning, Raven was a snow-white bird, and as such, he pleased Gray Eagle’s daughter. She invited him to her father’s longhouse.
When Raven saw the Sun, Moon and stars, and fresh water hanging on the sides of Eagle’s lodge, he knew what he should do.
He watched for his chance to seize them when no one was looking.
He stole all of them, and a brand of fire too, and flew out of the longhouse through the smoke hole.
As soon as Raven got outside he hung the Sun up in the sky. It made so much light that he was able to fly far out to an island in the middle of the ocean.
When the Sun set, he fastened the Moon up in the sky and hung the stars around in different places. By this new light he kept on flying, carrying with him the fresh water and the brand of fire he had stolen.
He flew back over the land. When he had reached the right place, he dropped all the water he had stolen. It fell to the ground and there became the source of all the fresh-water streams and lakes in the world. Then Raven flew on, holding the brand of fire in his bill. The smoke from the fire blew back over his white feathers and made them black. When his bill began to burn, he had to drop the firebrand. It struck rocks and hid itself within them. That is why, if you strike two stones together, sparks of fire will drop out.
Raven’s feathers never became white again after they were blackened by the smoke from the firebrand. That is why Raven is now a black bird.”

‘The Raven Who Stole The Sun’ is a stunning pendant handmade from sterling silver.
The Raven is constructed from four individual layers of meticulously hand cut sterling silver with every detail of his feathers carefully hand engraved.
He soars above a double layered silver sun detailed with hand engraved rays.
‘The Raven Who The Stole The Sun’ has been oxidised and brushed to give a darkened appearance. Oxidisation is a surface treatment that will lighten with wear. All oxidised areas are given a coat of sealing lacquer and then microcrystalline wax to help protect the darkened surface.
As with piece I make, each and every jump ring is soldered closed to prevent any piece of the necklace coming apart or getting lost.

‘’The Raven Who Stole The Sun’’ hangs from my 18″ ‘Wicca’ chain constructed from sustainable recycled sterling silver and finished with a handmade fixing.
