oOo RESERVED oOo OLYMPIAS, THE SORCERESS by ECLETTICA

Description

Olympias was a Greek princess of Epirus, daughter of king Neoptolemus I of Epirus, the fourth wife of the king of Macedonia, Philip II, and mother of Alexander the Great. She was a devout member of the orgiastic snake-worshiping cult of Dionysus, and may have slept with snakes.

Oooh.
Scandalous.

She was also, as history recounts, a tall, statuesque, vivacious beauty who would fly into rages of jealousy without the slightest provocation. Indeed, it was reported that with Philip's volatility and Olympias' jealous nature, theirs was a truly stormy union.

What an epic tale.
Already inspired, I then stumbled across one of the most visually stunning interpretations of Olympias ever, within the portfolio of Alexia Sinclair, a wonderfully talented Australian-based photographer and digital artist. Please see the last image to understand my awe.

I knew I just *had* to recreate the passion and the essence that was Olympias, The Sorceress. And the elements I chose to use in depicting this regal persona are:-

>> GENUINE BLACK DIAMONDS
>> AAA Dark London Blue Topaz (immensely rare, intensely blue)
>> AAA Black Rutilated Quartz
>> AAA GENUINE TAHITIAN Black Pearls
>> RARE Grey Moonstone
>> RARE Mystic Silver Quartz
>> Mystic Silver Blue Topaz
>> Polished Tanzanite
>> Iolite
>> Silvery Grey Pearls
>> White Seed Pearls
>> Brazilian Blue Apatite
>> Polished Kyanite
>> Rainbow Moonstone
>> Silver Keishi Pearls

Dark.
Sexy.
Intriguing.
Dramatic.
Heirloom.

Olympias, The Sorceress glides sensually around the décolleté at the statement length of 21", securing with a stunning Bali Silver Toggle Clasp. I can certainly make this length adjustable for you, to provide for further versatility in style. The focal portion measures a majestic 4.75", allowing you to feel like the true Queen that you are.
