Thick provincial example made by the open face mold technique. Over ¾” (0.80”) plus the loop. The classic scallop is associated with Aphrodite (known to the Romans as Venus) who was born from the sea and carried full grown to shore on the scallop shell. She symbolized passion and fertility. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on an 18” Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
