Set with a pinkish white Swarovski crystal, hand engraved with an intaglio depiction of mythological figure Icarus.
In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from the island of Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus ignores his father instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He tumbles out of the sky, falls into the sea, and drowns. The myth gave rise to the idiom "don't fly too close to the sun”

Due to the handmade nature of our products, there may be slight variations in color and craftsmanship. Every Rafael Indiana piece of jewelry is unique and the symbiosis of the best materials and the highest form of craftsmanship. Every gemstone is sourced ethically and sustainably from exclusive suppliers. Each piece is then carefully crafted by hand, in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul with the uttermost respect to the integrity of the materials: the result is a museum quality artifact made to last.
