Greek Pegasus Pendant Necklace

Our Greek Pegasus Pendant Necklace features a gold medallion with the winged horse of Greek mythology in raised relief. Its softly irregular edge and hammered texture are inspired by ancient Greek coins, giving the pendant an antique, heirloom feel. The medallion hangs from an elongated paperclip link on a fine 14k gold-filled cable chain, and at 27 inches it falls low on the chest, so it works on its own or layered with shorter necklaces.

The Meaning of Pegasus

In Greek mythology, Pegasus is the immortal winged horse born from Poseidon, god of the sea, and the Gorgon Medusa. Where his hoof struck Mount Helicon, the Hippocrene spring burst from the ground, a source of inspiration sacred to the Muses and to poets. He carried the hero Bellerophon into battle against the fire-breathing Chimera, and Zeus later placed him among the stars as the constellation Pegasus. Today Pegasus is a symbol of freedom, inspiration, creativity and courage, and of rising above limits. The winged horse also appeared on the silver coins of ancient Corinth, the tradition that inspired this medallion.

About 14k Gold Filled

Gold filled jewelry has a thick layer of 14k gold permanently bonded to a brass core. It contains far more gold than gold-plated jewelry, so it resists tarnish and won't flake or rub off with everyday wear.

A meaningful gift for anyone who loves Greek mythology, ancient coin jewelry, or a symbol of freedom and new beginnings.

This step-by-step jewelry sizing guide shows you exactly how to measure for the perfect fit, without guessing. It's a tried-and-true method used by stylists, jewelers, and minimalist jewelry lovers everywhere. Before we begin, I’ll show you a rough necklace length guide on a model so you have an idea of how the different lengths will look. Please note that everyone is unique in their sizing so it is important to follow the measuring guide if you are looking for a perfect length unique to you.

What You’ll Need to Measure

Before you begin, gather:

• A piece of thread, string, or thin ribbon

• A ruler or measuring tape

• A mirror (optional, for checking placement)
  

Step-by-Step: How to Measure Necklace or Bracelet Size

1. Wrap the String

• For necklaces: Loop the string around your neck to where you'd like the pendant or chain to sit—collarbone, chest, or longer.

• For bracelets: Wrap around your wrist where you'd like the bracelet to rest—snug or slightly loose.

2. Mark the Length

• Pinch or cut the string at the exact point where both ends meet.

• This marks your ideal jewelry length.

3. Measure the String

• Lay it flat against a ruler or tape measure.

• Write down the measurement in inches—this is the size to order.

Pro Tip: If you're between sizes, go up a half an inch for comfort.
