Slip on the Hippogryph Stag (Rainbow) Necklace and celebrate the rare gem that you are. A symbol of the impossible, the Hippogryph, aka Hippogriff, is a legendary creature primarily depicted as the offspring of a griffin and a mare — an unlikely pairing, given that griffins were believed to prey upon horses.

More About Hippogryphs
Referenced in medieval works like Ludovico Ariosto’s poem “Orlando Furioso” (1516), as well as later works like Arnold Sundgaard's poem “The Hippogriff,” the hippogryph was indeed considered a rarity. In fact, "to mate griffins with mares" was a medieval metaphor equivalent to current-day idioms "when pigs fly" or "when hell freezes over," since griffins were believed to prey upon horses.
According to lore, the hippogryph was easier to tame than a griffin. In the few medieval legends when this extraordinary creature makes an appearance, it is usually the pet of either a knight or a sorcerer. It makes an excellent steed, being able to fly as fast as lightning. The hippogryph is said to be an omnivore, eating both plants and meat.
Our founder, Charlene, has her own inspirational take on the creature, however — one that served as the inspiration behind our logo:
"My personal rendition of this legendary animal was to have it with the characteristics of a regal stag and wise raven. A bit different than the traditional, but I thought it would add a fun twist! Nature is all about adaptation after all. ;)" ~Charlene A. Rountree
