Emperor & the Elephant

This golden Charm Necklace is a lucky token, a journey & protective piece of art to be worn. It features a cast Romano-British coin of Emperor Licinus & a clutter of 20 reclaimed & recycled gemstones from faraway lands & seas. 

Spy a carved Ox-Bone Elephant, a donut of jasper, a globule of quartz & an iridescent antique Tasmanian Mariners Shell.

Details:

• Necklace Length: 16 inches. The pendant brings it to about 16.5 inches in length. Clip it securely onto the link to wear it shorter. Leave me a note at the checkout if you’d prefer another length. These chains come in 16 & 18 inches.

• 18 recycled gemstones: a vintage carved ox-bone elephant, pearl, vintage coral, amber, malachite, unakite, garnet, faux coral, quartz, jadeite, mother-of-pearl, an antique Tasmanian Mariners Shell & turquoise.

• I sculpted this impression of a Roman coin by squashing the hot metal coin onto jewellers wax & I had it cast into raw brass using the ancient-rooted technique of lost-wax-casting.

• CHOOSE YOUR CHARM: You can select the central amulet when you add this into the cart. You can tell me if you’d prefer the Emperor or the Dancing Satyr to face front. 

• The chain & all of the metal details are made from 14ct Filled Gold - a thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto base metal. Filled gold is a more durable alternative to gold plate or vermeil.

• This design is repeatable. I have enough of these recycled gemstones & castings to make a very small limited edition stash of them. 

• They will vary ever so slightly due to the organic nature of the gemstones. I will match the colour palette & as many stones as possible.

Please allow me up to 2 weeks to make this before I wrap & post it out. It’s just a Roo in the studio.
