In Greece and Rome, wreaths crowned victors, poets, rulers and the revered, symbolising triumph, wisdom, remembrance and everlasting life. Their circular form also suggested continuity, unity and the turning of time. Pressed into wax, a wreath might have marked a letter with dignity, achievement or devotion, transforming correspondence into a personal declaration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished with sterling silver findings, each pendant carries the character of the maker’s hand and the enduring beauty of living history itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note as this piece is handmade every pendant will differ slightly from the images above. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant comes on a beautiful green ribbon which can be worn as a choker necklace.
