Fairly made, fairly priced
Hypatia of Alexandria was a defiant philosopher and mathematician. Known as one of the last great thinkers of the ancient world, and one of the first women to study and teach mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy, she is an enduring icon of resilience and audacity.
Hypatia's life was tragically cut short when she was murdered by a mob of Christian zealots - a grim testament to the hostility faced by women who dared to challenge the status quo and seek knowledge. Yet, her legacy survived, inspiring countless generations of women to pursue their ambitions fearlessly.
Hypatia's detailed profile, sculpted in molten solid gold, adorns this unique pendant, symbolizing her remarkable intellect and strength.
Wear this unique piece to celebrate Hypatia and let her story inspire you to break barriers, challenge norms, and pursue your passions relentlessly.

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.
