Hannya Necklace

Hand engraved Hannya necklace in sterling silver featuring pink sapphire, moissanite, and black spinel.

The Hannya is a mask used in a traditional Japanese Noh theater, representing a female demon. It is characterized by two sharp bull-like horns, metallic eyes, and a leering mouth.

The hannya itself represents the complexity of human emotions. The mask depicts a woman that is so engulfed in rage and jealousy that it had turned her into a demon. Depending on what angle you look at the mask, it can convey emotions like anger or sorrow.
