Ode to Mother Athena Necklace Set

In the famed Athena Nike statue Athena holds a pomegranate symbolizing her role as the nurturing mother of her city. This depiction of the goddess holding the red fruit in her grasp in place of her usual spear evokes Athena's role as the cultural mother of the city who brings prosperity and protection to her beloved people. 

The sculpture of Athena Nike is re-visualized in the Mother Athena necklace set that features a coin with the head of Athena as the guardian of her city. The ruby pendant is worn with the goddess coin to symbolize the pomegranate, which brings the wearer vigor and good health, a renewed life spirit, and even immortality.
