amphora necklace

The amphora is one of humanity’s oldest forms — a vessel shaped to hold what is precious. Across cultures and mythologies, it appears as a symbol of nourishment, memory, offering, and containment. It carried water, oil, wine, seeds — substances tied to life, ritual, and transformation.

In its deeper symbolism, the amphora echoes the archetype of the feminine vessel: the body as a container of creation, wisdom, and continuity. It is a form of holding — of gathering, preserving, and honoring what must be carried through time.

Each amphora I create is shaped by hand, allowing subtle differences in proportion, surface, and presence. These variations are intentional, reflecting the many ways a vessel can exist — strong or delicate, grounded or elevated — yet always rooted in the same ancient language.

Composition: Bronze is made of copper and tin. It has a wonderful warm hue mimicking 14K gold. Made from recycled metals.

 

Bronze is a living material that responds to touch, air, and time, developing a natural patina through wear.
Subtle changes in tone, deepening color, and gentle marks are part of its character — traces of life, not flaws.
If you wish to restore brightness, place the jewelry briefly in hot water with a small pinch of citric acid; oxidation will disappear within seconds.
When worn regularly, especially rings, the surface naturally maintains its shine through contact with the skin.

Your jewelry will arrive in a beautiful box, ready to be gifted.

As each body is different, the way a necklace falls may vary — for the best fit, I recommend measuring a necklace you already own for comparison.
