When an Elemental introduces itself to a new druid, it presents the druid with a stone sphere. The stone sphere is a symbol of the Elemental itself, serves to connect the druid to the Elemental, the Elemental to the druid, and can be used by the druid as a focus while learning to anchor themselves in the different head spaces needed to speak with Gaia's spirits of biomes and other earthly elements. Elementals can be called upon by druids to perform favors and can even defend the druid when needed. Inspired by the Iron Druid Chronicles series by Kevin Hearne.
Details: The Locket is solid bronze and is made up of six Celtic triskele knots woven from newly budding branches. The triskele is a symbol of the foundation of the Celtic world - earth, sea, and sky. The locket opens so that the Elemental sphere can be held or changed for another. The Elemental Sphere pendant measures 35.5 mm top to bottom and 26.5 mm wide in diameter. It weighs 13.4 grams.
Finishing Options: Antiqued Bronze or Yellow Bronze.
Chain Options: 24" long stainless steel rope chain or 24" long gold plated steel rope chain. Additional chains are available on our accessories page.

Would love to love it
First of all I love the books this is supposed to be based from. I would love to love this piece. The metal working is pretty good and it looks pretty decent overall. I was told to get pliers in order to take off a jump ring in order to change out the balls which is pretty ridiculous. Sure why they didn't use the smaller jump ring or make the whole big enough to allow a jump ring to go through it. Idea of having to use pliers to change out the balls It is just crazy. The howlite to me seems extremely fake. It looks dyed. It even looks like there's inks smeers of the dye on the ball. I'm not sure why are you fake howlite is fairly cheap. You can see in the photos theirs on the left. Howlite from a gem trade show on the right. Lastly it just arrived in a slightly padded envelope in a little bag... I would have definitely expected a little box or something to try and help keep it safe during delivery.

Andrew, Despite your hostility and disrespect of our product, business, and staff, we offered you options for how to change the stone that didn't involve pliers as well as offered to give you a full refund, despite our store policies. Our offers were met with more hostility and abusive language and the other options we offered were completely ignored. We are truly sorry that you think our designs are wrong, but we unfortunately cannot change our entire piece designs off of the first complaint we have ever received on the piece. As a jewelry company, making sure that what we are selling is actually what we are providing is extremely important to us, so with your accusations of our stones being fake, we will be looking into the issue with our distributor. Again, we are sorry that you are unhappy with the product, but you made it clear from the start that you weren't looking for a solution, just someone to be upset with, which is not something we will tolerate, nor can we resolve. If you've changed your mind and would like a refund, we will still be happy to provide one upon receipt of the necklace. If you would prefer a chain with a modified jump ring to be able to swap out the stones more easily, one of our jewelers has offered to provide that to you as well. Outside of that, there is nothing else we can do to resolve the issue. Best Wishes, Badali Jewelry
Beautiful Locket
A lovingly faithful pendant, exactly as described in Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series. Both delicate in design but hefty in construction, this locket is built to endure alongside the Druid who wears it. The Elemental sphere is nice and secure inside. I'll for certain be back to pick up a few more spheres!
