The Winged Lion Necklace features a hand-sculpted frame and a striking 20-carat aquamarine engraved with an intaglio of the Winged Lion — the symbol of Saint Mark the Evangelist. According to legend, while resting in Venice, Mark dreamt of a lion who spoke the words: "Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus. Hic requiescet corpus tuum." (“Peace be with thee, O Mark, my evangelist. Here thy body will rest.”)
Though his remains arrived centuries later, Venice had already adopted the Winged Lion as its emblem of power and spiritual protection. Today, this mythical symbol endures — transcending its religious origins to evoke strength, vision, and timeless sovereignty.
