A striking blend of history and symbolism, this sterling silver guillotine necklace captures the duality of power and consequence. The miniature guillotine features intricate detailing, from the blade to the fine framework that supports it.
At its heart, a tiny faceted citrine gleams, a golden ember in the steel, a whisper of wealth, revolution, and resilience.
Once a feared instrument of justice and reckoning, the guillotine became the emblem of the French Revolution, toppling monarchs and reshaping a nation. But citrine, known as the "merchant's stone," has long been associated with prosperity and light. Here, the two intertwine, the guillotine as the harbinger of radical change, and citrine as a beacon of fortune and renewal.
Wear this piece as a reminder of history’s turning points, of cycles of power and transformation, or simply as a bold statement of defiance and elegance.
