Melissae di Erice necklace of 16mm black Volcanic lava beads and 3 x 9ct yellow gold Melissae di Erice necklace spacers and a 9ct yellow gold Lowe Clasp. The design on the spacers comes from a detail inside the Royal Box in Teatro Massimo, Palermo, Sicily. From the Journey to Sicily.
The necklace measures approximately 16" in length and is available in 18". Cassandra's design for this necklace enables it to be worn singly or as a double row, as well as linking both necklaces together to form one long rope. Please contact the showroom on 020 7730 2202 for more information.
Melissae di Erice
The goddess of love, Astarte, is revered at Erice. It was there that Daedalus was tasked to make a golden honeycomb for her. Honeycomb - and therefore, bees - are inextricably linked with Sicily, so I named this collection 'Melissea', meaning 'bee', Di Erice. In the hexagons of the honeycomb on the rings and pendants, a small bee and diamond are hidden.
