The EPIPHANIA necklace. Hand crafted in solid 14k gold and set with a special cut elongated natural amethyst gem. Simplicity at it’s best. In the Byzantine Empire, the first born daughter to a royal father had become Empress was given the name of Epiphania (from the greek - born in purple). Extremely rare, purple in the Byzantine Empire became the color of the imperial family. The empress gave birth to her children in the purple room of the Great Palace of Constantinople, allowing her kids to literally be born in purple. Since, the color has become a favorite of royal families around the world. This necklace is a contemporary rendition of Byzantines' fascination for the imperial purple.
