    The original Phaistos Disc is a large fired clay plate that was discovered in the early 1900s by an Italian archaeologist on the south coast of Crete, and it's covered with hieroglyphic symbols that researchers are still struggling to decode. This unique 18K gold disc pendant beautifully captures the mystery and magic of the original piece. Handcrafted in Greece. Pendant is approximately 1.2 inches. 19.7 inch 18K gold chain.

    Contemporary designs meet ancient inspiration in the rich yellow gold of Lalaounis. Founded by fourth-generation jeweler Ilias Lalaounis in the 1960s, the company revived ancient Greek goldsmithing techniques, creating modern jewelry inspired by the country's rich archeological heritage. Following in the footsteps of their father, today the four Lalaounis sisters – Aikaterini, Demetra, Maria and Ioanna – are transforming five generations of tradition into wearable jewelry for modern women. Worn by style icons from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor yesterday to Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Theron today, the company’s designs are also exhibited in the Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum in Athens.

     

    We love how well this disc pendant captures a historical phenomenon - the Phaistos Disc, which remains a mystery today and has inspired wonder in many people throughout history.
