Calliope (kal·EYE·uh·pee) is the ancient muse of epic poetry and eloquence, historically invoked by illustrious writers like Homer and Dante. Calliope brings comfort to those seeking a steady voice in a crowded room, bestowing eloquence like honey upon the lips of the wearer. She brings divine inspiration, truth, and grace to writers, poets and all those who need a steady hand to guide their pen.
As the muse of the written word, Calliope is most often pictured with her stylus, a paper scroll or a book. This handcrafted pendant depicts Calliope in an original etching from 1832, accompanied by her book and lyre.
The trademark Common Era raised molten rim frames the pendant, suspended from a finely-woven Italian-made spiga chain.

About Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is for those who buy once and buy well. It will not tarnish, fade, or degrade; worn daily for decades, it only grows more beautiful. It is the right choice if you want a piece that lasts a lifetime or becomes an heirloom.
Gold has appreciated steadily for centuries and retains intrinsic value: it can always be melted down and reborn as something new. It is adornment that is also an investment.
Our solid gold pieces are cast using the ancient lost wax method and are never hollow. Every gram is 100% certified recycled, and every piece is made by hand in New York City.
About Gold Vermeil
Gold Vermeil, pronounced ver-may, is a french term for a style of gold plating that is regulated by the federal government. Unlike "gold plated" jewelry, vermeil must always be on a solid 925 sterling silver base - rather than brass - with at least 2.5 microns thickness of gold. This is 3 times thicker than normal gold plating.
This makes vermeil a longer lasting product than gold plated jewelry, as well as more valuable because it's composed entirely of precious metals.
