The Ionic Necklace in 22K Gold Vermeil is inspired by The Temple of Athena Nike, one of the most well-known structures for its ionic columns. Out of the three ancient Greek orders, ionic columns are said to be the highest, thinnest, and most ornate. The more you seek, the more you shall find the astonishing beauty of the Ionic Necklace hidden in small details of the hand sculpted ionic columns attached together to form a one-of-a-kind design. Throughout the years, the alluring columns have seen Athena's joy, anguish, bitterness, and love, making them a symbol of knowledge, guidance, and heavenly beauty. 22k Gold vermeil on 925 Sterling Silver Our unique handcrafted jewellery designs are from 925 Sterling Silver that has been responsibly obtained and finished with 22K Gold Vermeil to ensure the rich gold lustre is preserved for a longer period of time.
