Volcano Goddess Pele at Kilauea
Dietrich Varez Story Jewelry:
Pele at Kilauea Volcano
THE STORY:
Pele is the goddess of fire, lightning, wind and volcanoes and the creator of lava and the Hawaiian Islands. Often referred to as "Madame Pele" or "Tūtū Pele" as a sign of respect, she is a well-known deity within Hawaiian mythology, and is notable for her contemporary presence and cultural influence as an enduring figure from ancient Hawaii.
In this piece of Wearable Art, Pele is shown as emerging from her home, Kilauea Volcano Crater, and is surrounded by the beautiful Lehua Blossoms of the Ohia tree.
HANDMADE WEARABLE ART:
Each pendant is hand-sculpted with amazing details in our studio nestled admits a gorgeous tropical rainforest. The design is an artistic collaboration with beloved Big Island Artist "Dietrich Varez", and based on one of his famous wood block prints. Just like his prints, each pendant is made one at a time and a true heirloom to be cherished for a lifetime.
Each piece of Varez Wearable Art has also a one-of-a-kind hand-sculpted back that is unique to each pendant. No two are exactly alike. The textured back gives each creation a wonderful multi-dimensional feel. The design on the back includes a textured pattern along with the 925 jewelers mark for "Sterling Silver", our signature "Rainbow Mann" Petroglyph, our jeweler's mark (A&A Logo) and the Japanese Symbol for "Peace".
