Some patterns have survived for thousands of years, carrying their distinctive geometry from ancient architecture and pottery into the present.

This handmade Greek-inspired necklace features a silver-tone teardrop motif decorated with a traditional meander pattern and a black enamel centre. A small natural polished black onyx bead sits above the motif, completing the design with a subtle touch of depth and shine.

The pendant is mounted on dark brown Crazy Horse leather with a rustic finish and wrapped in black waxed cord. The combination of dark leather, black enamel and silver-tone metal creates a striking, understated look.

A distinctive piece for those drawn to ancient Greek symbolism, geometric patterns and meaningful handmade accessories.

The Story Behind the Meander

The Greek meander, also known as the Greek key pattern, is one of the most recognizable decorative motifs of ancient Greek art.

Its continuous, interlocking lines have long been associated with ideas of continuity, infinity and the unbroken flow of life. The pattern appeared in ancient Greek pottery, architecture and decorative objects, and remains a defining element of classical Greek ornamentation.

For this pendant, the meander pattern follows the outline of a teardrop, surrounding a deep black enamel centre.

The polished black onyx bead adds another layer of texture and contrast. Traditionally associated with strength, grounding and protection, black onyx has long been appreciated for its deep, understated beauty.

Makes a great 3rd anniversary gift, a treat to yourself, or a just-because gift to friends and family. Pair it with the Meander Bracelet for a beautiful, complete set.

Made Slowly, Made by Hand

Every Lucky Seven Leather piece is handmade in my small workshop in Greece.

I work with carefully selected materials, taking the time to shape, wrap and finish each pendant by hand.

Crazy Horse leather is known for its distinctive pull-up effect. Its surface develops lighter and darker shades with handling, creating a naturally distressed appearance that evolves with time.

Natural variations in the leather's texture and finish, together with the individual characteristics of the onyx bead, make every pendant slightly unique.

Care Instructions

Leather is a natural material that develops character with time.

Avoid prolonged exposure to water.

Keep away from excessive moisture, perfumes and harsh chemicals.

Store in a dry place when not in use.

Avoid pulling or twisting the cord wraps.

With proper care, your leather pendant will continue to develop its own character as you wear it.
