Regular price $95

Sterling silver Somnia necklace by Mephíz, comes on an 18 inch sterling silver chain.

Inspired by nights lacking sleep, and by the E.T.A. Hofmann story of the Sandman - keep this close to you as a talisman to ward off sleeplessness and bring inner awareness to your mental state. What is it that is troubling you? What is it that is keeping you up at night? And how can you soothe yourself into rest and relaxation?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
