Hippolyta Pendant with Tsavorite Garnet - Solid Gold

$5,642.00
Description

The Hippolyta Pendant is carved malachite, below which five green tsavorite garnets are suspended. The pendant is moulded from 14K solid yellow gold. Hippolyta was an Amazon warrior queen, the daughter of the God Ares. To retrieve her famous girdle was the ninth labour of Hercules - that it would challenge even the mighty Hercules is a testament to the fearsome power of this great ruler. Her name is derived from the root word for horse in Ancient Greek, and therefore she is often depicted alongside horses and chariots. Hippolyta is a symbol of feminine power and grace under fire.

The Hippolyta Pendant is a one-off piece, available immediately. Each stone is individually engraved by hand by artisans which means that every piece is truly one of a kind.

Jewellery Care
What to know about Solid Gold jewelry?

Solid Gold is prized for its natural resistance to tarnishing, making it perfect for everyday wear, even in water. However, the lower the karat, the more prone it is to tarnishing and damage. For example, 9K gold is a more affordable option but can be more brittle and susceptible to issues than 18k gold.

Gold is a soft metal, so it's important to be mindful of bending or scratching your pieces. We recommend removing your jewelry during activities that could cause damage.

How to store Solid Gold jewelry

Store your pieces in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. We recommend using a jewelry box or pouch to prevent accidental scratches.

How to clean Solid Gold jewelry

Clean Solid Gold jewelry by soaking it briefly in lukewarm water with a small amount of baking soda and dish soap. After soaking, rinse the jewelry and use a soft toothbrush to remove any residue. Dry it with a polishing cloth to restore its shine.

Limit cleaning to a maximum of two times per year to preserve the integrity of the gold.

For any concerns about Solid Gold, contact us to discuss, and our expert team will be happy to assist you.
