Helen of Troy, New

Handmade from sterling silver and 18k gold, the Helen of Troy necklace shows the queen crowned in an elaborate gold tiara. Her face is carved from a recycled piano key, and her features delicately scrimshawed by hand.  The necklace is reversible - showing the stone on the back - and beaded with natural pearls. Helen followed her heart and eloped with her lover Paris in an age where woman had few rights, and she reminds us to follow our bliss and passion no matter what the societal pressures around us.  She measures 1.8" x 1.2".

Each goddess necklace is signed on the bottom by the artist, with an easy-to-use sterling silver and gemstone box clasp.  The standard beading length is 19" but can be strung to any length.
