Our bestselling Goddess of all time is now available as a Special Edition pendant, featuring a double-sided design with Athena’s shield, the head of Medusa, on the back. A traditional Greek meander border encircles Athena and her traditional symbol, the owl, as she lifts her staff and shield in a show of courage, preparedness and fortitude. The coin is held in place with claw prongs reminiscent of owl talons. This Athena necklace comes in 14k yellow gold vermeil and two tone, which is a sterling silver coin set in a 14k yellow gold vermeil border. This piece is strung on a 20" special edition rolo chain.
Often juxtaposed with brutal, warlike gods such as Ares and Poseidon, Athena is a symbol of courage, wisdom, and the clever strategy that always triumphs over blind fury and lack of preparation. In ancient statues, Athena’s likeness is often paired with Nike, the Goddess of Victory, in tribute to the unrivaled Goddess.
A living embodiment of the patient, clever, and unrelenting feminine spirit, Athena is in every woman who works hard for what she has. She defies misconceptions of womanhood, attaining victory in traditionally male spaces, and is both a guiding patron that reminds you of your worth as well as a talisman of your inner wisdom, power and imminent victory.
