Flower of Life necklace

The artefact

The good luck symbolism of this bead necklace, including a pendant, is featured on a hand-crafted glazed ceramic surface, embellished with mother-of-pearl and a 12% sparkle-gold decoration. The central pendand is a Flower of Life, a common decorative element in Sardinian traditional craftsmanship, embellished with a pinnadeddu, a rounded element intended to bring good luck, traditionally used in goldsmith's art. The small ceramic beads alternate with oval vibrated agate stone beads.
