Vintage Greek Sterling Silver Ram Head Necklace
A beautiful and unusual vintage Greek sterling silver necklace featuring finely sculpted ram head terminals and an elegant Herakles (Lover's) Knot design.
Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, this necklace combines a finely woven double foxtail chain with detailed three-dimensional ram heads decorated with traditional Greek scrollwork. The knot creates an attractive hanging drop, giving the piece far more visual presence than a standard choker.
The ram has been an important symbol throughout Greek history, representing strength, leadership and protection, while the Herakles Knot has been used in Greek jewellery since antiquity as a symbol of unity, love and enduring bonds.
This is a distinctive collector's piece that is equally suited to everyday wear or as part of a fine vintage jewellery collection.
Condition
Very good vintage condition.
The necklace presents beautifully with a natural vintage patina consistent with age. No obvious damage or repairs noted. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
