1970s Aries Pendant
Aries is the cardinal sign in the zodiac, marking the beginning of spring and the entire zodiac wheel; March 20th to April 19th. It's the first sign in the zodiac, it's ruler is Mars, element fire and symbol a ram - little wonder then that those born under it are characterised by their intensely headstrong, passionate and assertive personalities.
The signs origins as a ram likely stem from an ancient Kush diety, depicted as a wooly ram with curved horns, who myth was folded into the Egyptian god Amun Ra, the king of gods, after their conquest of the Kushites. It also has roots in Greek mythology with Chrysomallus, the golden-woolled, winged ram, whose fleece was famously recovered by Jason and the Argonauts in order for him to ascend to is rightful place as king of Iolcus.
This pendant is crafted in an organic oval shape, with a hand-carved depiction of a ram marching stridently forward, atop a hammered gold background. Built in solid 18 carat yellow gold throughout.
