Acorn Pendant
The acorn, the fruit of the oak tree, has a strong mythological and spiritual symbology: in Celtic myths it is a symbol of immortality and fertility, the Druids ate them to obtain prophetic qualities. In other traditions it is a sacred fruit or an amulet. Symbol of life and birth, connected to its tree, it symbolizes the presence of divinity on earth and for this reason it also contains a meaning linked to eternity. The inspiration for this necklace/pendulum comes from the drawings of the tomb of Pope Julius II by Michelangelo. In fact, the Della Rovere family had the acorn as its symbol, which is magnificently represented in Michelangelo’s drawings.

All our pieces are original designs, handmade by Marina Calamai, and made using the Renaissance lost-wax casting method. We choose to cast in bronze due to the beauty of this transformative metal. Symbolizing the color of strength and support, bronze’s warmer color than gold, can patina over time. You can either choose to play with the beautiful patinas, or keep your jewels shiny like the mythological shield of Achilles.
