This handcrafted cameo Hermes necklace is kiln-fired from our Florida studio with the upmost care to details.
Hermes also known as Mercy in Latin was the Olympian god of herds and flocks, travellers and hospitality, roads and trade, thievery and cunning, heralds and diplomacy, language and writing, athletic contests and gymnasiums, astronomy and astrology. He was the herald and personal messenger of Zeus, King of the Gods, and also the guide of the dead who led souls down into the underworld.
 
Hermes was depicted as either a handsome and athletic, beardless youth or as an older, bearded man, with winged boots and a herald's wand.

PRODUCT CARE:
 
- Bronze has been valued since antiquity for its strength and warm, golden tone. Over time, it naturally oxidizes—much like silver—creating a rich patina that adds depth and character. Its original luster can be easily restored with a jeweler’s polishing cloth as needed.
 
- Gold-Plated Bronze Care: Our gold-plated bronze pieces are crafted with a layer of gold over solid bronze; over time, the bronze beneath may naturally oxidize, especially with exposure to moisture, lotions, and perfumes, and can be refreshed with gentle jewelry care.
