A little more detail…

These gorgeous flattened solid silver shillings are transformed into Raven Moon inspired designs, celebrating our love of Autumn, Corvids and wonderful nature.

On this occasion i have attempted to capture the love of Ravens within a pair of 100 year old silver shillings.

They are meticulously crafted with green sensibilities and ethics, appropriate for such designs! The overall aim is to transform unloved but precious silver coins into something lovely and desireable, with a new life ahead of it!

Each set is completely unique, contemporary, ethical and beautiful. I present them complete with a sterling silver ‘off-cut’. This way, I can demonstrate the origins of the ravens, and connect them to their interesting recycled-material history. If you liked these Ravens, why not check out these magical runes?

Ravens bring with them feelings of mystery, death, wisdom, intelligence, and prophecy. Their black plumage and association with carrion contribute to their connection with death and loss, while their intelligence and ability to mimic human speech give them a reputation for wisdom and insight.

They are frequently linked to death and the afterlife, often acting as psychopomps (guides of souls) in mythology. Their presence in art and poems can foreshadow impending doom or symbolize grief and mourning.

Ravens are considered one of the most intelligent bird species, and this is reflected in their poetic symbolism. They can represent ancient wisdom, secrets, and the ability to see beyond the surface. Their ability to communicate, albeit through mimicry, has led to their association with prophecy and the ability to foresee the future. In some cases, they can be seen as messengers from the spirit world.

The raven’s dark appearance and enigmatic nature contribute to its symbolic power. They can evoke a sense of unease, suspense, and the unknown, making them a compelling figure in gothic or horror literature.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”:
The raven in this iconic poem embodies grief, loss, and the narrator’s descent into despair. It symbolizes the finality of death and the torment of unhealable sorrow.
