The dramatic yet classic coral-onyx, red-black combination features an oversized medallion in Sterling Vermeil with a bas relief showing the profile of the god from Greco-Roman mythology 'Hercules' (herakles in greek) known for his strength.  On the hand cast italian medallion, Hercules ear has been set with a fine diamond. The chain is gold plated brass strung with hundreds of tiny onyx beads with larger onyx beads hand strung on the chain. Six coral trunk beads hang from vintage gold plated resin beads found in a stash from pre-war Europe. Comes with matching extender. One-of-a kind piece. 

Coral symbolizes life force and energy, and has been used for millennia to avert negative energies and promote good luck. Onyx has also long been known for its protective energies against negativity. Hercules' image on the medallion adds his notorious strength to the powers of this piece. This necklace is theultimate good luck talisman.
