Handmade with a curated mix of one-of-a-kind antique and foraged treasures.
At its core, a vintage Latin American merit medal inscribed “Primero al Mérito” — “First in Merit” — traditionally awarded to recognize academic or civic distinction. The laurel motif, long associated with victory and achievement, rests in warm, time-softened metal and is finished with a chartreuse silk tie, adding a vivid, unexpected contrast to its history.
Below, a sculptural horse within a horseshoe — enduring symbols of strength, protection, and forward momentum. Layered burnished chains create weight and movement, while a bullet pendant hangs along a secondary strand, reimagined as ornament and quiet resilience.
Composed of antique brass and gold-plated metals throughout — a balance of honor, power, and intention held in layers.
Measurements:
Chain: L 14-16 in.
Pendants: L 1.25 in. W 1.25 in.
