Sundial Pendant Necklace

Thursday December 18, 2008
sundial pendantI love the blend of colors and textures in this pewter and bronze pendant. The piece is a replica of a sundial ring given to King Henry II by Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1152. Celtic knots surround a portion of the curved edges and the original inscription, carpe diem, or seize the day, is on the smooth inside surface. The pendant's mechanism reads the time of day by registering the angle of the sun's rays to the earth.
