Iliad and Odyssey Pendant

This Iliad and Odyssey pendant necklace is inspired by ancient Greek epics and timeless storytelling.
A symbolic jewelry piece representing journey, fate, and human resilience.

The Iliad and the Odyssey are two pillars of human storytelling.

One speaks of conflict, honor, and the cost of pride; the other of endurance, return, and the long road home. Together, they form a complete cycle, struggle and survival, loss and persistence, departure and return.

This pendant honors the Iliad and the Odyssey as archetypes of the human journey. It speaks to those who understand life as a series of trials and passages, who recognize strength in endurance, and who believe that meaning unfolds through experience rather than certainty.

Worn close to the heart, the Iliad and Odyssey become symbols of continuity, a reminder that every journey, no matter how long, shapes who we become.

Every journey leaves a mark.

For round pendants, the material and size are measured by the circular diameter. This diameter measurement does not include the pendant's bail. The bail size for pendants with a diameter ranging from 16mm to 30mm is 2.8mm on the outside and 1.4mm on the inside. For rectangular and oval-shaped pendants, the size is measured based on their height. The width for these pendants is a base of 13mm, which increases proportionally with the size. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to ask. I'd be happy to assist you.

Choosing the right size is essential to ensure your necklace fits perfectly! Here are a few things to keep in mind:

-Each product listing includes detailed size options—please review them carefully before placing your order.

-If you're unsure about the right size, you can measure an existing necklace or use a piece of string to visualize the length.

-The size of the necklace can impact the visibility of engravings. Longer text(for personalized items) or intricately details on a smaller necklace may require smaller details and lettering, which can affect readability.
