Achilles + Patroclus Pendant

"In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun." — Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Achilles and Patroclus’s love transcends time, a bond so profound it defied death itself. In life, they stood as companions; in death, their ashes were united, their souls intertwined for eternity. Ringed in a border of Greek laurel crowns, this strong yet tender depiction honors their story — a powerful emblem of queer love, courage, and devotion.

For each Achilles pendant sold, $10 will be donated to support LGBTQ+ youth at a time funding is most needed.

MATERIAL GUIDE

14K Solid Gold

All packaging is crafted from 100% recyclable materials — a gift that feels good in every way.

14K Gold Vermeil

Awe Vermeil has been perfected for superior durability with an innovative oxygen bathing technique that improves gold adherence 3x over standard electroplating. In this process, we coat a 925 sterling silver base with 3 full microns of our signature 14k yellow gold and place the piece in a 100% pure oxygen chamber to remove any moisture and prevent tarnishing between layers. The 2 microns used by other vermeil jewelers is not enough for our standards.

925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver free of allergenic metals like nickel and coated in rhodium for superior luster and durability. Our 925 sterling silver is always free of allergenic metals like nickel. To ensure superior luster and durability, it's coated in rhodium - a metallic element resistant to corrosion.

2 Toned or Mixed Metals

Two toned describes a piece or set with mixed metals: Awe quality 14k yellow gold vermeil and solid 925 sterling silver.

CARE & WARRANTY

Made to Last

Every piece is crafted from ethically sourced precious metals and genuine natural gemstones – never base metals that flake, tarnish, or irritate skin. Hypoallergenic and designed for everyday wear.

Care Tips
  • Gently polish with the complimentary Awe microfiber cloth included in every order to maintain luster.
  • Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, chlorine, and household chemicals: simply wipe clean with a soft cloth after any exposure.
  • Store in the embossed velvet pouch or jewelry box that comes with your order. Keep pieces separated.
  • Wear last, remove first: put jewelry on after applying skincare and fragrance.

Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty

Every piece is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty. If anything goes wrong due to manufacturing – broken clasps, loose stones, soldering defects, or premature finish issues – we'll replace it free of charge.

Repairs for normal wear or accidental damage are assessed individually. We also offer repairs for 14k solid gold pieces.
