One of my favourite discoveries from Rome: a beautifully carved carnelian intaglio depicting Victory, mounted as a one-of-a-kind 18k gold pendant.
There is something particularly compelling about ancient-inspired jewellery. The carving has an incredible sense of movement and presence, and the warm translucent carnelian has the depth and glow that makes this piece feel almost like an archaeological treasure.
Carnelian held an important place in the ancient world and was associated with fortune, courage and vitality. That history makes the image of Victory feel especially fitting.
The pendant hangs from a small articulated bail that was hand-carved in wax before being cast in 18k gold, giving the piece movement and making it wonderfully tactile when worn.
A distinctive statement pendant for anyone drawn to ancient history, mythology, talismans and unusual jewellery.
Honestly, I can see this being worn by some heroine in The Odyssey — ancient, golden and a little bit magical.
☽ Details:
• Antique, Made in Italy
• Solid 18k gold
• Roman Carnelian Intaglio Hand-carved Victory motif
• Weight approx 5.2g
• Handmade articulated gold bail
• Size approx 3cm x 1.5cm (3.5cm including bail)
Each Mirus Atelier piece is filled with good vibes and positive intentions, and will last the test of time.
Colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings.
