Minoas & Knossos Versatile Chain

Double the fun in this paperclip chain necklace featuring two charms of different sizes, each adorned with two zirconia gemstones. The perfect base for layering with longer necklaces.

This charm is inspired by carved gemstones of small size and quite intricate in a design representing various images produced in the Minoan civilization. They served as personal amulets, bound to their owner and also used by merchants in their transactions.

The scene depicted on the second charm is a summary of the Minoan conception of the divine and the unity of the universe. A threefold appearance of a Minoan goddess: she is floating in the air at the top of the seal; below it, she is watching the worship ceremony, sitting in her own temple; and then finally, she is ferrying her temple across the sea on an elegant boat in the form of a seahorse. The goddess appears at once in three elements – air, earth and water, linking the entire Universe and transferring power over it.
