I designed this pendant during my visit to the island of Ortigia in Siracusa, Sicily. It is a replica of the 15th century rose window of Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista (Church of St. John the Baptist) in the Piazza del Precursore. The window survived the 1693 earthquake that devastated 70 towns and cities in southern Sicily. This custom historical piece is so elegant and easy to wear with everything.  This is such a luxurious piece with substantial weight. The  diamonds throughout gives it a 3d look with its  variations in thickness.  We believe each jewel tells a story.  Turn heads and inspire your style with this contemporary take on a classic church window.  Effortlessly chic.  Shown here with our everyday chain in vermeil.
