Product Description

Engraved with a traditional Laurel Leaf motif, this beautiful pendant, handcrafted in pewter is the most popular. Eleanor of Aquitaine gave a similar sundial to King Henry II to remind him when it was time to leave the hunt and join her for one of their love trysts. Henry had a copy of the dial made for Eleanor and had it inlaid with diamonds and engraved with the words Carpe Diem, or "Seize the Day". We can't inlay the diamonds, but Henry's inspired words are there on the inside of the pendant.

Approx 1.5" Diameter, Handcrafted Lead Free Pewter, Shipped with a 31-inch black silk cord and complete manufacturer instructions.
