The ROSA Necklace is one of the 70 exclusive pieces from the CALISTUS collection. Each piece is only made once, embracing beauty through individuality.
Materials:Swarovski red crystal + 14k solid gold.
Hand sculpted with a Swarovski red gemstone. The vivid red gemstone has an intaglio of a rose, eternal symbol of love. Rafael Indiana hand carves his pieces from wax making each piece unique, which we believe is what gives the product its authentic ancient beauty.
When the rose was created by Chloris, from the dead body of a nymph, all agreed it was the most spectacular of flowers. Aphrodite named it and dedicated it to her son, Eros. The latter, to protect his mother's secret affairs offered it to Harpocrates, god of silence, hoping to cover his mother's recent indiscretions. With its beauty, rose was already associated to love, but with this act from Eros, the rose - sub rosa in Latin meaning under the rose - the flower became also linked to secrecy and silent love affairs.
Each piece is unique and might vary slightly from portrayed images due to hand made craftsmanship and natural gems. Handcrafted and finished by artisans in Istanbul, Turkey’s Grand bazaar. Every design comes with a unique story.
