Singing River Curiosities

Accessories – Oklahoma City

My name is Jacque Callaway and I make spiritual charm jewelry. I began almost three years ago making and selling handcrafted pieces I couldn't find anywhere else. I have been heavily influenced by my home state of Mississippi, New Orleans, and the places I lived around the world while my family was in the USAF. I am fascinated by religion, faith, and symbolism. I use each piece as a chance to tell a story through art and most are meant as talismans or spiritual armor. And if you are curious about the name...The Singing River is the Pascagoula River in Mississippi and the river has been said to sing for hundreds of years. The legend is that in the 1500's a Catholic missionary came to Pascagoula and the natives began listening to him more than the mermaid they had always worshiped. One night she began to sing to them and they all walked into the river and all drowned to be with her.
