"There is no question that they existed... We have records of conversations between fairies and the people on this island."
-Sir Iain Noble, from the Isle of Skye
The realms of the Fairyworld have long been thought to border just over the edges of our own world: overlapping within sacred groves, stone circles, and forests, and often seen by children and the innocent of heart. The world of the Fairies is present in the folklore of almost every culture, and the Fey present many different sides: dangerous beauty, lighthearted mischief, joy and inspiration, fear and laughter, malice and love. Fairies have been known to switch children in their cradles, kidnap maidens into their own realm, and save infants from death. Despite a dual-sided nature, Fairies most certainly represent the ability to see things beyond the mundane world. In the words of the immortal poet William Shakespeare, "There are on Earth more things than those that can be perceived by imagination." Always intrigued by the Fey, Shakespeare wrote the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," which features the Queen of the Fairies, Titania. It is she who is pictured on the front of this pendant, smiling unfathomably at the viewer while two Fairies frolic in her hair. The necklace is 10" long.
