The Pleiades is my new favorite constellation pendant. Also known as the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades have been the subject of myths and legends in almost every culture on our planet. For me, this is a wonderful token to represent unbreakable bonds of Sisterhood and a perfect gift for all the sisters in your life.

Each pendant is hand-sculpted in bronze and measures approx. 3/4" in diameter. Choose from 2 chain types and 3 length options.

*** I’m sorry but the large cable chain seen on the model is not available.

In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were seven sisters: Maia, Electra, Alcyone, Taygete, Asterope, Celaeno and Merope. Their parents were Atlas, a Titan who held up the sky, and the oceanid Pleione, the protectress of sailing.

After a chance meeting with the hunter Orion, the Pleiades and their mother became the object of his pursuit. Enamoured with the young women he pursued them over the face of the Earth. In pity for their plight, Zeus changed them into a flock of doves, which he set in the heavens. Thus the olympian added the penalty of the absence of his wife and family to the Titan's original punishment of eternally supporting the heavens from the Earth.
