Seahorse "Gaia" 18K Gold Vermeil Bracelet

The symbolic meaning of seahorse is quite intricate and diverse as the little creature itself is full of surprises.

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed the seahorse was an attribute of the sea god Neptune/Poseidon and as such, the seahorse was considered a symbol of strength and power.

Further the ancient Europeans believed that the seahorse carried the souls of deceased sailors to the underworld, giving them safe passage and protection until they met their soul's destination. Chinese cultures believed that the seahorse was a type of sea dragon, and as such they were revered for their power and thought to be symbols of good luck. Sailors have long viewed the seahorse as a good luck charm too.

A relative calm, and mild-mannered creature, the seahorse is seemingly content to roam the seas. Their bodies are geared for ambling-type motion, not for speed. Thus, they are symbolic of patience and contentment, they are happy with being where they are, and in no hurry for advancement.

This bracelet is on a Faceted Sea-Green Amazonite stretch band, and is 18k gold vermeil.
