Description
Prince Daemon Targaryen was a member of House Targaryen, the brother of King Viserys I Targaryen, and the husband of Rhaenyra Targaryen. Daemon was the most experienced warrior of his time and wielded the Valyrian steel blade Dark Sister. A dragonrider whose mount was Caraxes, Daemon declared himself the King of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea. Daemon was described as dashing, daring, and dangerous; unpredictable and quick to take offense. He was as charming as he was hot-tempered. His dragon - Caraxes, also called the Blood Wyrm - was red, lean, and huge. In battle both rider and dragon were formidable, fearsome, and experienced.
These earrings are made to represent Daemon Targaryen and the House of the Dragon from where he hails. Daemon was a controversial man in his lifetime, an audacious Rogue Prince and adventurer who seemed composed of good and evil in equal measure. There was never a man simultaneously so loved and so reviled as he was. To some he was a hero, to others - a villain. This is why these jewels carry the spirit of his duality, his charm, skills, and quick mind, as well as the colors of House Targaryen and of Caraxes - the mysterious black and the nurturing red.
The pair features bright red glass beads. Red is a House Targaryen color and Daemon wears it very often. Red is passionate and loving. It facilitates intuition, imagination, visualization. Red represents warmth, but it is also known as a color that warns of danger. It matches Daemon's own hot-headed disposition. Red is a bold color, which makes one stand out from the crowd and it influences the way others see them; it also conveys confidence, the state of believing in one’s abilities and qualities.
The jewels' counterpoints are faceted jet black obsidian beads, Venetian glass black beads and small black crystal beads. Dragonglass is a common name in Westeros for obsidian, a form of volcanic glass. Along with Valyrian steel, it is one of the two known substances capable of destroying White Walkers. In Old Valyria, it was known as zīrtys perzys, which means "frozen fire". Considered a very personal stone of protection, obsidian is generally bought, kept and worn by one person only. It is no ordinary stone, but nature’s glass formed from volcanic lava and hardened so quickly that it formed no crystalline structure. Obsidian is a "mirror stone" for those prepared to look into their inner being, making it a perfect stone for Daemon Targaryen and his inner workings.

Elements include stainless steel round tokens, small crystal beads, glass beads in black and red, genuine obsidian faceted beads, Venetian glass cube beads in red, Venetian glass drop beads in black, stainless steel wire, stainless steel flat beads, stainless steel small ball beads, lever back clasps.
