The pelta pendant is elaborately crafted in numerous steps using traditional casting techniques.
The first step is the production of a wax model. The green mold is created after the wax has been coated with investment. The wax is then melted out and the negative mold is finished. The precious metal, heated to melting point, is poured in liquid form into the negative hollow mold. After cooling, the mold is removed by tapping and the raw casting is removed. The pelta pendant cast in one piece is cleaned and polished.
Each piece of jewelry is made as a precious one-off.
The delivery includes a high-quality leather strap and a cotton jewelry bag.
All products from the manufacturer Forum Traiani® are made in Germany.
A replica of the original from the imperial era
A pelta is the Roman name for an Amazon shield. During the Roman Empire, pelta and shield-shaped applications were extremely popular ornaments. Numerous finds in the Roman provinces prove their importance, especially in a military context for belt buckles, fittings and brooches.
The original piece, which serves as a model for the pelta pendant, is dated to between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.
The Roman historian Suetonius described the domination of some parts of Asia Minor by the Amazons in the 1st century. The Amazons are regarded as a warlike race of women and were repeatedly mentioned with reverence in later centuries. Up until the 5th century, the Black Sea was still referred to as the Amazon Sea.
A wall fresco from Herculaneum in Italy shows a seated Amazon with a pelta shield in her hand.

This antique piece of jewelry radiates silver elegance and tells its very own Roman story. Wear the pelta pendant impressively on the leather strap or a matching silver chain.
