Crocodile
Crocodiles symbolize ultimate Primal Power. They have been around since the time of the dinosaurs which are now extinct. They represent fierce protection and can see underwater and into emotional worlds. Their tough backs are like an armor and can deflect bullets; however, their underside belly is soft.
This speaks to us of duality and balance: the rigid and the vulnerable, the push and the pull, the mighty and the meek, the obvious and the hidden. The Crocodile is the symbol used by the Bank of Jamaica and Jamaica’s defense force it is also on Jamaica’s coat of arms.

More than just beads, Kristie Stephenson, Story & Myth’s founder, has carefully crafted the line to uplift and empower its wearers. Each bead symbolises inspiration, strength, hope and faith, with the aim to inspire those adorned by them to rise above fears, setbacks and life’s inevitable challenges.
A strong believer in the metaphoric power of a culture’s longstanding stories passed down from generation to generation, Kristie often shares folklore and ancient mythology to illustrate truths around self-empowerment, inner strength and divine protection, as well as calls for a collective push towards a more socially and environmentally conscious community. This belief in the potency of cultural tales is what sparked the creation of the line’s Story & Myth name.
