Modernist Greek Silver Pendant

$149.00

This attractive silver pendant is modeled after a “tassie”: a souvenier commonly collected in Europe by English travellers during the Victorian era. Tassies are plaster molds of the seals made by signet rings from the Roman and Greek periods. They typically picture scenes from mythology or busts of famous people such as emperors. This design is particularly interesting because it has a contemporary feel in spite of its great antiquity. It is part of our Ancient Cultures Collection of equestrian jewelry.

You can order a chain for it when you check out — you’ll see our most popular options next to the items in your shopping cart– and a bigger selection of chains and clasps can be found here.

Note: Your handmade piece may vary slightly from the one pictured as no two are exactly alike.
