Venetian Lion Marciano pendant
A pendant that is not just a jewel, but a sign of identity. Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, available in multiple sizes and carats (9-14kt), it depicts the Lion of St. Mark, known as the winged lion or lion of St. Mark: the symbolic representation of the evangelist Mark, which over the centuries has become the absolute emblem of Venice. A symbol of majesty, power, and protection, the Lion of St. Mark appears in all the cities that were under the dominion of the Serenissima. Not only Venice adopted it: even the Marine Fusiliers, who defended the city from Austro-Hungarian attacks, still bear its name today. It is the only military unit in the world dedicated to a patron saint. Wearing this pendant means carrying a fragment of history, an immediate and unmistakable sign of Venetian belonging. Also available to order in white gold, silver, and silver-gilt. Prices upon request.
Dear customer, this jewel may not be available immediately, but it is reproducible and customizable
