Psyche Wings Necklace
24k Gold Plated Vermeil with 16-18 inch Box Chain
An ode to the timeless tale of love and a powerful narrative of inner strength and resilience, crafted in 24-karat gold vermeil. The original vessel of companionship links kindred souls through shared experiences as we navigate the complex mix of trials and triumphs in life's endless unfolding.
STORY
Within the mythical tapestry of Psyche and Eros, the narrative unfolds as a profound odyssey of love, resilience, and self-discovery. Psyche, a mortal princess, embarks on a journey to reunite with Eros, the god of love. Her unwavering courage in the face of adversity becomes a testament to an inner strength that blossoms amidst challenges.
Through the labyrinth of trials, Psyche discovers the unyielding spirit within, forging a narrative of self-discovery. Each obstacle becomes a stepping stone, unravelling layers of her own capabilities, and she emerges in triumph as the goddess of souls with butterfly wings.
Beyond a love story, the myth becomes a poetic journey, a metamorphosis of self, that reveals the depths of one’s resilience and fortitude. The Psyche Wings pendant pays homage to this narrative and celebrates the emergence of a warrior soul.
Between rugged warrior armour and a butterfly silhouette, the forms intertwine to create a memento of inner strength to accompany you through the road between.

GOLD VERMEIL
Pronounced ‘ver-may’, vermeil is a centuries-old term coined to describe a type of gold plating over a solid sterling silver base. It is a technique with superior quality and durability over standard gold plating. To be classed as gold vermeil, the sterling silver base must be gold-plated using the electrochemical technique with a gold purity of 10 karats or above and a plating thickness of at least 2.5 microns.
Gold karat (k) is a measurement of gold purity; each karat indicates 1/24th of the whole. 24k gold refers to the purest form of gold, with 99.9% of gold content. Zephyne’s gold vermeil layers 24k gold at 2.5 microns onto a sterling silver base, rendering the piece with a deep, rich golden hue. Our Memento Jewellery is designed to be worn on your daily adventure. With a little affection and care, your vermeil piece can stand the test of time and retain its lasting, alluring shine.
