Cleopatra's Bling - Santaurio Necklace with Amethyst

Brand: Cleopatra's Bling

Designer, Olivia was born a wanderer. From childhood, surrounded by trinkets, crystals and her treasure chest. Cleopatra’s Bling was born from an adoration of travel, the etherial, and the symbolic. A fusion of eastern allure and western style. Dreamed up in Paris, she moved to Turkey to learn the art of adornment in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. Olivia now resides between Istanbul, Paris and Melbourne. She creates jewellery with emotional and historical relevance, dipping into the collective memory, all while respecting ancient jewellery-making traditions.  

Design: The Santuario is an ancient coin pendant adorned with five sparkling amethysts. Between the 18th and 20th Centuries the Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Remédios was built atop Monte de Santo Estêvão in Portugal. It is reached via a wide staircase leading to the sanctuary’s blue and white patterned exterior. Set inside a sprawling green park it is host to Marian devotional artworks. The Santuario Pendant represents peaceful sanctuary and commune with ancestors.

Material: 18k Gold Plated, nickel and lead free. Comes with a chain.

Care: As Olivia and her team hand craft each piece, slight variations are to be expected and are what make the designs one-of-a-kind. 

Please be gentle with your treasures and do not apply lotions and perfume while wearing your gold plated pieces. Please avoid water when wearing gold plated jewellery. Gold has a tendency to scratch, so extra care should be taken when wearing and cleaning to maintain quality.
