Cassiopeia was a queen in ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, she boasted she was more beautiful than the sea nymphs, called the Nereids. Her boast angered Poseidon, god of the sea, who sent a sea monster, to ravage the kingdom. To pacify the monster, Cassiopeia’s daughter, Princess Andromeda, was left tied to a rock by the sea. Perseus the Hero, rescued the her. The gods were so pleased, that all of these characters were elevated to the heavens as stars. Only Cassiopeia suffered an indignity – her vanity caused her to be bound to a chair and placed in the heavens so that, as she revolves around the north celestial pole, she is sometimes in an upside-down position.
This necklace is my homage to her. Sterling silver, handformed, by me, even the chain..with copper beads and wire. The neck piece measures 1 inch wide, and the pendant hangs 3 1/2 inches below that. It's lightweight and somewhat delicate, but definitely made for a queen!
