Handmade from sterling silver and 18k gold, the Diana necklace shows the goddess clad in buckskin with her silver sword ending in the crescent moon. Her body is carved from a recycled piano key, and her features delicately scrimshawed by hand. The necklace is reversible - showing the stone on the back - and beaded with natural gemstones. Diana was fiercely independent and strong, but also gentle and nurturing; she reminds us of the feminine strength to be found in love. She measures 1.9" x 1.25".

Diana, also known as Artemis by the ancient Greeks, is one of the most powerful female figures in mythological history. The virgin goddess of animals, she lived in the untamed wilderness with her band of wood nymphs, honoring the sacred balance between woman and nature. As the protectress of the forest, she loved all living creatures, with cats and deer being especially sacred to her. Diana also loved the moon and demonstrates the two sides of all women: the nurturing helper and the fierce protectress.
