Golden Metamorphoses Necklace

Ancient coin from Syracuse, Sicily circa 415 B.C. lovingly reproduced in solid 14k yellow gold with sparkling white, champagne, or grey diamonds. This ancient coin features the nymph Arethusa in the front, and a ship’s wheel with 2 dolphins on the reverse. Pendant comes on a beautiful 18” solid gold chain.

Arethusa is a beautiful nymph whose story is told by many but most notably Ovid in his poem Metamorphoses. She transformed into a stream that flowed underground, and even underneath the sea, bubbling up as a sacred spring on the island of Sicily.
