NEW Aquitaine Celestial Sundial Ring Pendant, Brass & Pewter, Black Satin Cord, “Bead of Light” to tell time.

Engraved with a cheerful celestial design with stars and moons. This charming pendant, handcrafted in pewter and bronze, is a new offering in our popular Aquitaine line. In 1152, 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. Shipped with a 31-inch black silk cord and complete instructions.
