Sterling Silver Melusine Pendant with Rainbow Moonstone

Melusine is a serpent goddess mentioned in the Charge. She appears in many legends found in Irish, Scottish, French and Albanian lore. In one tale, she marries on the condition that her husband never asks where she goes on Saturdays. Curious, he follows her and comes upon Melusine for the first time in her serpent form. Saddened, she grows wings and flies away. Melusine teaches about building love and commitment through trust and restraint. As long as her boundaries are respected, she is known to bring great happiness and prosperity.
The Limburg-Luxemburg dynasty, which ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1308 to 1437 as well as Bohemia and Hungary, the House of Anjou and their descendants the House of Plantagenet (kings of England) and the French House of Lusignan (kings of Cyprus from 1205–1472, and for shorter periods over Cilician Armenia and Jerusalem) are said in folk tales and medieval literature to be descended from Melusine.
