One night Oengus had a dream of a
beautiful woman. He fell in love with her and
swore that he would never marry anyone else. She
was finally found on a lake called the Dragon's
Mouth, the daughter of a prince of Connacht. When
approached for her hand, the prince said he could
do nothing to compel her, she must be asked
herself. She was a swan maiden, a swan one year,
and a woman the next. On November first (Samhain)
Oengus went and told Caer of his love for her.
She changed him into a swan and they flew away
together singing a song. Anyone who heard the
song slept for three days because it was so sweet.

All earwires are made of Niobium.
Niobium (Nb) is a soft gray ductile metallic
element, also known as columbium that can be
coloured with currents of electricity. Along with
titanium, tantalum, zirconium, pure refined gold,
and platinum it is one of the six most bio-compatible
elements.
Even people with severe metal allergies can
usually wear niobium.
