Euterpe (yu·TUR·pe) is the ancient muse of song and music, known to inspire musicians and lyricists through the centuries. Diodorus Siculus, a historian from the first century BCE, tells us, “ she gives to those who hear her sing delight.”
Euterpe’s divine inspiration will strengthen your voice and guide your pen. She is the muse of those who find sense in melody, who are meticulous in their care for their craft, and who seek to harmonize with others.
As the muse of song, Euterpe is most often pictured with an ancient instrument such as the Aulos or Lyre, wearing a laurel wreath of triumph. This handcrafted pendant depicts her in an original etching from 1832, holding a lyre and crowned by laurel.
The trademark Common Era raised molten rim frames the pendant, which is 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.
