Description
An impressive and unusual stick pin featuring a finely carved Labradorite cameo depicting Zeus within a 15k gold beaded ropetwist frame.
Legend has it that the Northern Lights were once trapped with pieces of labradorite until a brave warrior freed most of them by hitting the rocks with a spear. The rocks that were spared still have those Northern Lights inside them producing an optical effect known as Labradorescence.
Who better to embody this effect than the sky and thunder god Zeus.
