As we know, each astrological sign (of the Zodiac) was named after a constellation of stars, which is where they get their names:  Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

In addition to having astrological signs named after a constellation of the stars , there are also gem stones associated with each Zodiac sign and with each month of the year and even with each day of the week. To see which gemstones are used in chart form and images of these stones, please click here.

What many people do not know is that each sign is ruled by either a specific planet, the Sun or the Moon, and that each planet was named after an ancient Roman God.  Each God had areas in which he ruled; therefore, we call them planetary rulers.

In these modern days, with our universe getting smaller (even though it's actually expanding) and with our increasing awareness about our own planet, the Odyssey Collection was born.

THE ODYSSEY COLLECTION™ was conceived by Sam Lax®, and the original drawings based on Sam's concepts were created by Karin Swildens, internationally-acclaimed artist and sculptress.  Then Sam breathed dimension into these drawings to bring you this exciting collection, cast in fine Pewter by the late Don Tortolani, Sr.  His son, Don Jr., promises to follow in his father’s footsteps when it comes to the quality of his castings.  Each piece of the collection is hand-finished and antiqued to bring you an heirloom-quality piece of pewter jewelry depicting the ruler of your astrological sign.  While the twin loops on the back of each piece will accommodate many types of chains, each piece comes with a 36-inch length of braided 2 mm black cord.
