"Achillean" refers to Achilles as ‘Sapphic’ refers to Sappho - it describes gay love, romance and people. Achilles is of the most iconic Greek heroes, a gay man with a profoundly moving, breathtakingly beautiful, dazzling and tragic love that bloomed in the ancient world and spilled across a battlefield, proving that the desire to be vulnerable & connect intimately is, and always has been, universal.
The Achilles pendant depicts tragic Greek lovers Achilles and Patroclus locked in a passionate gaze, a representation of love that transcends the boundaries of tradition, norms and even life itself. With a double raised border modeled after classic Greek laurel crowns, this old-world style coin is slightly larger than most Awe pendants.
Bold and strong yet unquestionably tender, the Achilles pendant is a powerful symbol of unabashed queer love, created to inspire joy and shine light on a story that deserves representation. Paired with the Luxe Chain and Isis, the Goddess of the rainbow, this set is a powerful statement of hope, joy, and true love that conquers all.
