Handmade Penelope & Odysseus Necklace - Odyssey Inspired
This handmade cameo necklace depicts a classical scene from Homer's Odyssey: a lady-in-waiting leading Queen Penelope of Ithaca toward Odysseus, who has returned home disguised as a beggar. The moment captures loyalty, patience, and the quiet tension before recognition-one of the most enduring episodes of ancient Greek literature.
The pendant is a faithful reproduction of a historical cameo popular during the 18th-19th century Grand Tour, when travelers collected classical-inspired objects as symbols of education, refinement, and admiration for antiquity. The softly sculpted figures and traditional square cameo format reflect neoclassical aesthetics drawn directly from ancient Greco-Roman reliefs.
Each pendant is handmade in Florida, carefully formed and finished to preserve the depth and character of the original artwork. The piece is paired with a 14k gold filled chain, creating a timeless necklace that works equally well as a statement piece or layered accent.
