Montana agate is highly prized for its rich color and striking patterns. Hebe was the goddess of youth and had the ability to restore vitality to any being. She also served the gods with ambrosia and nectar, divine delicacies, which granted immortality. On this pendant, Hebe is offering nectar to Zeus in his eagle form. Production time for this piece is up to 12-14 weeks. Price does not include chain. Chavdar Chushev is an artist, restorer, jeweler, and master of the ancient art of gem carving. His extensive knowledge of gemstones and precious metals is complimented by a familiarity with more unusual materials, such as exotic woods, organic gems, and fossils. This unparalleled expertise accumulated over 40 years and distinct creative vision have made him one of the most respected jewelry designers in his field. Elaborately carved gems were a staple of luxury in antiquity and often incised onto semi-precious stones such as carnelian or jasper. In the form of a talisman they served as extraordinary symbols of status and in certain cases, they were believed to provide divine protection. They were also employed as a form of personal identification when pressed in hot wax or clay. Rulers, nobles and wealthy merchants sought, collected and traded these fascinating miniature works of art.
