The Greek goddess of wisdom, Athene, was often depicted with an owl, as was her Roman counterpart Minerva. We created this unique pendant by taking lapis from a vintage 14k gold cufflink (circa 1960 1970) and mounting on a 9ct gold owl from a 1910s era brooch. The piece measures 0. 9 inches from the top of the bail to bottom by 0. 5 inches wide, and it is in great condition. Materials:
