An ancient treasure, reimagined as a contemporary jewel.
This one-of-a-kind pendant features an authentic Etruscan hollow gold lion-head appliqué dating to circa the 4th–3rd century BCE, transformed into a contemporary fine jewellery piece.
The ancient gold lion is framed by a delicate setting of brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a striking contrast between the irregular beauty of the archaeological artefact and the refined precision of contemporary craftsmanship.
In the ancient world, the lion was a powerful symbol of strength, courage, protection, and sovereignty. Frequently represented in Etruscan art and jewellery, it embodied both physical power and a sacred protective presence.
Preserving the character, patina, and traces of time of the original artefact, this pendant creates a dialogue between antiquity and the present. The diamond frame enhances the ancient gold without overpowering it, allowing the history and individuality of the lion to remain at the heart of the jewel.
More than a piece of jewellery, it is a fragment of history to be worn and carried forward.
A unique collector’s piece for those drawn to ancient civilizations, archaeological jewellery, and objects that transcend time.
