Originally, sirens were depicted as creatures with the body of a bird and the head of a woman. The first reference to the popular image of the siren, half-fish, half-woman, appears in the Odyssey. Their origin is unclear, but they are associated with spirits from the underworld.

Seductive and treacherous. In medieval legends, Christians associated sirens with carnal temptation and feminine sin. Seduction in women was frowned upon from antiquity, and it is clear that sirens were demonized and depicted as evil and bloodthirsty sea spirits who used seduction to devour sailors.

On the other hand, the sirens represent the obstacles life throws your way, like temptations that appear along the path, which you have to dodge, just as Odysseus in the Odyssey tied himself to the mast and demanded that no one untie him under any circumstances. That mast represents the central axis of life, balance, and steadfastness.

With this piece we want to reclaim women's freedom to seduce and be seductive, without being demonized or punished for it, and the right to, once again, fall into sin and succumb to temptation without fear.

The Sirena Gold Necklace is a piece handmade using traditional jewelry methods in brass, plated in 24k gold with a protective layer that extends the durability of the plating.
