Rutupiae Medallion-Necklace inspired by Rosemary Sutcliff

      
    "'It is very hot tonight,' Justin said, and loosed the folds of his light cloak, revealing the sprig of rye grass thrust through the bronze clasp at the neck of his tunic."
-The Silver Branch by Rosemary Sutcliff




Inspired by the sweeping, heather-kissed prose of Rosemary Sutcliff's historical novels, I am pleased to bring to you the "Rutupiae Medallion" collection. Each medallion is adorned with a genuine wax seal depicting an inkwell and feather-pen, thus combining the simple glory of Roman-Britain adornment with your business of word-weaving. These imperial-looking pendants are strung on ribbon and made from stamped sealing wax and re-purposed metal bracelet-discs, giving them an authentic weightiness. 


I can imagine Flavia of The Lantern Bearers receiving one of these elegant pendants from her brother, Aquila, and tying the ribbons to match the length at which she'd like to wear it that particular day. The medallions come with moss-green, red, or copper seals. I have two of each color in stock, currently.

A simple, ribbon-tie for a closure, to provide for adjusting length
