Care instructions
Sterling silver develops a natural patina over time. Avoid chlorine, salt water, hot springs and household chemicals, and if the piece gets wet, dry it before storing. Use a silver polishing cloth gently on plain, polished silver, never on details darkened on purpose.
Brass, bronze and copper develop a patina with time. Do not wear them in the shower, and remove them before swimming, washing your hands or exercising. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and dry promptly if wet; write to the atelier before polishing or restoring.
Stones and pearls come first: keep them out of showers, baths, pools and the sea, and never soak them or clean them with steam or ultrasound.
Store each piece on its own, in its pouch. The full care guide
The Byzantine Prince
This necklace is masterfully handcrafted from 935 silver and copper, intertwined in a complex Byzantine chain that echoes the empire's strength and resilience.
Freshwater pearls are delicately woven into the design, symbolizing purity and the divine connection between the earthly and the spiritual.
Silver, revered for its protective qualities, is believed to enhance intuition and bring balance to the wearer. In Byzantine times, silver was also a symbol of purity and was often associated with the moon, representing a connection to the divine feminine. Copper, on the other hand, is known for its ability to conduct spiritual energy and amplify thoughts, making it a powerful metal for those seeking to manifest their intentions. It was also used in ancient Byzantine art and architecture, symbolizing strength and resilience. Freshwater pearls, the final touch in this luxurious piece, represent purity, wisdom, and the flow of life. They are believed to calm the mind and emotions, providing a sense of serenity and connection to the spiritual realm.
The intricate Byzantine chain design, a hallmark of the empire's artistry, adds a layer of complexity and historical significance to the necklace. The combination of these materials not only creates a visually stunning piece but also one that resonates with the energies of protection, manifestation, and spiritual purity.
"The Prince of Byzantine" is a statement piece that carries the legacy of Byzantine royalty, offering both aesthetic beauty and profound symbolism. Suitable for both men and women, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power and wisdom of the Byzantine Empire.
