Greek Sea Horse Silver Pendant

$139.00

This distinctive pendant features a sea horse, which played an important role in Greek mythology. It is part of our Ancient Cultures Collection of equestrian jewelry.

Known as hippocampi (the plural of hippocampus) these mythical creatures were created by Poseidon, god of the sea, and are often pictured leading his chariot. They were immortal and had powers including the ability to control the water and the weather. They represented power, bravery, helpfulness, hope, strength, agility, and creativity. Their fame lives on. In 2019, one of Neptune’s moons was named Hippocamp. You will certainly be wearing a piece of ancient history when you don this pendant.

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.
