A gold vermeil pendant necklace with a standing lion set within an open, rope-textured circle. The lion is rendered in fine relief, mid-stride across a bar that bridges the frame, with the twisted edge giving the disc a worn, classical feel. Long associated with strength and courage, the lion reads as a quiet emblem rather than a loud one. The open construction keeps the medallion light at the chest, where it hangs from a fine Cuban curb chain. Its satin gold finish holds up to regular wear. Wear it on its own or layered with other chains and medallions.
