Antique Hebe & Zeus Wedgwood Pendant
Hebe was responsible for keeping the twelve gods of Mount Olympus young (or, at least, from ageing further). The ambrosia that she provided as cupbearer wasn't only delicious, it afforded immortality, strength, and vitality, and it even worked on mortals. Hebe was a daughter of Zeus and Hera (if you can believe it!), and it is suggested that she was the youngest of the gods, and indeed the most revered amongst her peers. Hebe resigned her position as cupbearer to the gods when she married Heracles. Her Roman equivalent is Juventas.
Charming antique pendant set with a black jasperware cameo depicting Hebe feeding Zeus in the form of an Eagle. The cameo is mounted in silver with a simple granulated border, and it's signed Wedgwood (Made in England) on the back. It dates from the 1920s.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
