This exquisite handmade pendant captures a timeless scene from classical mythology: Hermes, the fleet-footed messenger god, tenderly sculpting a statue of the goddess Aphrodite, his divine beloved. Inspired by a 17th-century Grand Tour cameo, this piece evokes the Renaissance fascination with Greco-Roman myth and art.
Handmade and kiln fired in rich detail, the pendant reproduces the elegance and romance of the original, featuring Hermes in motion, cloak swirling, as he breathes life into the form of beauty itself. The soft golden finish and oval form lend a sense of ancient luxury to this captivating wearable sculpture.
Each pendant is individually crafted, making every piece a unique heirloom that connects the modern wearer to centuries of artistic devotion and mythological storytelling.
