Sāvitrī Necklace
The story of Sāvitrī can be found in "Vana Parva" (The Book of the Forest) of the Indian epic, Mahabharata. Her name means "radiant sun-ray."
Sāvitrī is a princess who confronts the king of death in order to retrieve the soul of her husband. Through courage, compassion, and creative clarity, Savitri is able to outwit the kind of death.
Gold-filled sun charm hangs from the a sparkling garland of agate and goldstone. A ruby teardrop adorns the clasp, in honor of her goddess power.
*Gold-filled is much more durable and tarnish-resistant than gold plated jewelry. When you treat this little treasure with care, its radiance will last a long time. Here are some tips for caring for your Sāvitrī Necklace:
- Keep your treasure in the sari silk keepsake bag for preservation.
- Use a soft cloth to wipe it clean. Do not use chemicals.
- Direct exposure to lotions, oils, or perfumes can also dull the shine.
- Remove your jewelry during intense exercise or water activities. On-going exposure to sweat, salt water, and chlorine can be damaging.
When you put on your Sāvitrī Necklace, remind yourself to never dim you light for anyone. Repeat the mantra:
"My courage is radiant. My compassion shines bright."
