Mermaid Symbolism | Siren Folklore
These mystical sea-dwelling creature are commonly represented as having the head and body of a woman and a fishtail instead of legs. Belief in mermaids, and in their counterpart, mermen, has existed since earliest times. They are often described as having great beauty and charm, which they use to lure sailors to their deaths (see Siren lore below). In some legends they assumed human shape and married mortals.
Sea Siren Folklore
In Greek mythology, as daughters of Phorcus or of Achelous, the Sirens inhabited an island surrounded by dangerous rocks. They sang so enchantingly that all who heard were drawn near and shipwrecked. Jason and the Argonauts were saved from them by the music of Orpheus, whose songs were lovelier. Odysseus escaped them by having himself tied securely to a mast and by stoppering-up the ears of his men.

Pewter Charms / Base Metal Charms / Tibetan Silver Charms
Unlike our Precious Metal Charms & Pendants, Pewter designs Do Not come with Jump-Rings. All of our Pewter Jewelry items are Lead-Free. Though many will sell Pewter as Silver (as it legally can be sold; as it IS the color of silver) -- modern pewter contains No 'Real' Silver (as in bullion silver, the precious metal). A newly purchased object made out of pewter will generally be shiny. Though it doesn't tarnish, over time pewter may change to have a slightly grayer look. This should not be considered a flaw in the piece as this is a natural process of the metal reacting to various elements. Pewter can be cleaned with a gentle soap, and water. Intended for adult use only.
