Queen Helene Necklace

Queen Helene necklace from gold plated silver with a white pearl and green agate stone. The pendant’s design is taken from a fascinating archaeological discovery- a white pearl earring that is dated to 2,000 years ago. The Roman-style earring was found in a Byzantine structure from 300 year later, leading experts to posit that the earring stayed in the family and was passed from generation to generation. The building belonged to the Adiabene family, a well-known Jerusalemite family of which Queen Helene, who converted and moved to Jerusalem, is a member of.
