'Ancient Turtle Spirit' Necklace: Gold, Silver and Symbols of Life
The 'Turtle Spirit' Necklace is a jewel that encapsulates wisdom and longevity, inspired by ancestral beliefs that venerate the turtle as a symbol of life and motherhood, and its shell as an emblem of Mother Earth. This unique pendant features the motif of a Greek sea turtle, meticulously embellished with 24k gold foil, applied using the Korean Keum Boo technique. In addition, the fusion of 18k gold with silver adds a touch of luxury and distinction.
The inspiration for this piece comes from a Greek coin from Aegina, dated approximately between 480 and 457 BC, capturing the essence of antiquity in its design. Each necklace is absolutely unique, with no replicas, ensuring that you own a singular piece of art. Although you may create similar designs in the future, each turtle will have its own distinctive character, making it unique.
Wearing this necklace is more than an act of adornment; It is carrying an amulet loaded with history, creation and protection, a true connection with nature and ancient cultural heritage.
