About the Item

This pendant showcases a hand-painted depiction of the mythical figure Cupid, masterfully crafted by artist Tommaso Rossi on Onyx. Set in solid silver, it celebrates Cupid, the emblem of love and desire, often portrayed with his iconic bow and quiver of arrows. The deep black of the Onyx serves as a striking night-sky backdrop, highlighting the charm and allure of the divine cherub, while the silver setting adds a heavenly brilliance to the piece. Cupid, also known as Eros in Greek mythology, is the deity associated with divine love and desire. He is often portrayed as a winged young boy armed with a bow and arrows, which he uses to inspire love and passion in both gods and mortals. According to a legend, Cupid is believed to be the first-born God, emerging from a silver egg deposited by Nyx, the goddess of the night, at the dawn of time. This unique piece of jewelry captures the beauty and symbolism of this ancient myth while preserving the historical significance of the Roman denarius from 74 BC. Tommaso Rossi is the talented young artist who creates these exquisite miniature portraits and mythical stories. Working on both marble and hard stone discs, he depicts historical and mythical figures from ancient Greece and Rome, using paints such as enamels, titanium acrylics and graphite. In his amazingly detailed technique, Tommaso employs either an echidna quill or a rose thorn instead of a brush to define the figures on these miniature masterpieces. Born in Rome in 2000, Tommaso first attended art school on Via Ripetta and then, recognized for his superior talent, he entered the prestigious “Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia”. This is an elite art school in Rome where only a small number of the finest young artists are carefully chosen for further training in the arts of engraving and plastic modeling. For more than a century, exceptional artists have acquired additional skills through the use of ancient techniques, innovative methodologies, design and craftsmanship. Importance is also given to art history and conservation. Classical traditions are reimagined, merging Antiquity with present day culture.

14K Gold Signature Classical Revival Cupid Medallion
Located in Venice, CA
Created as part of our signature collection, this 14k gold intaglio medallion depicts Cupid seated on top of a bow quiver. Cupid, the god of love and attraction, draws his arrow, ready to strike an unsuspecting victim with the power of love. Beneath him are rolling clouds that Cupid rides, as if on a ship. The image is outlined with a border of three lines to complete the beautiful image. Using a rare bronze intaglio from the late 1700’s, we created a mold and cast the pendant in gold. We hand-carved depth into the mold so that the details would pop on the contemporary medallion as beautifully as they do on the original antique intaglio, and then lovingly added a gentle patina by hand to the finished piece. The intaglio used as a mold for this medallion is attributed to the James Tassie workshop, circa the late 18th century. Born in 1735, Tassie was a Scottish stonemason who invented a glassy white paste perfect for replicating gemstones. Tassie was commissioned across Europe, first by Catherine the Great of Russia, then by the Wedgwood factory, to create imitation gemstones and elaborately carved intaglios. In 1773, most of the infamous blue and white cameos in the Wedgwood catalogue were cast from molds made by Tassie. The artist left behind a collection of over 15,800 intricate pieces of artwork. Many of Tassie’s intaglios...
