Alcyone Pendant - Solid Gold
Description
The Alcyone Pendant is carved from a green agate stone, depicting a water bird that calls to mind halcyon days of freedom, exploration, and companionship. Alcyone, in ancient mythology, died at sea after her lover was struck by one of Zeus’ lightning bolts. The Gods, who took pity on the couple, then turned Alcyone and her dearest into living water birds, or “halcyons”, who lived forever through the spirit of these creatures. The birds themselves, when seen today, are said to nest on days when the sea is calm. The pendant is 18K solid gold, set with rubies.
The Relic Collection pieces are one off, hand etched pendants. Each stone is individually engraved by hand by artisans which means that every piece is truly one of a kind. These unique relics are then hand chosen and individually cast into 18K solid gold. If you wish to see alternative relic stones we have available for custom made designs, please contact us. Each pendant comes with an 18K gold-plated chain. If you would prefer a solid gold chain, please add one to your cart at this link.
Custom Order
This bespoke item will be handcrafted in our Istanbul or Florence studios, over 4-6 weeks.
