14k Gold Diana Artemis GODDESS of Hunt Pendant. 1.2" + 8g *Video*

For sale is a 14k gold circle pendant designed by acclaimed U.S. designer George Carter Jessop Jewelers, based in San Diego, CA since 1892. Part of the Sea Green Mermaid Reimagined Vintage Collection, we had our jeweler transform this pendant from an antique brooch so it could be worn and enjoyed.

This large pendant is a large circle honoring Diana, or Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Diana/Artemis are also known as goddess of the moon, childbearing, and the underworld. The pendant is crafted in the Art Nouveau style. The goddess is represented striding gracefully, holding her bow in one hand and feeding a deer with the other hand. The deer represents the unfortunate young hunter Actaeon, who is said to have accidentally stumbled upon Diana as she bathed in a pond in the woods.  Furious, Diana turned him into a deer. The figures of Diana and the deer are beautifully crafted with elegant long limbs and gently curving bodies. The figures are accented by tall ferns and grasses.

This is a large, unusual, and truly lovely pendant. It has a hidden bail to accommodate your chain. Perfect for channeling your inner goddess or for anyone with a deep bond with the outdoors!
