Damaskos Archaic 18K Gold Pendant with Minoan Rodaka 5,2 g
A hand-hammered pendant in 18K gold, distinguished by a martillé finish that gives the surface a velvety, light-diffusing texture. At its center sits a polished Minoan-era Rodaka — a flower motif drawn directly from ancient Greek decorative art. Weighing 5.20 grams, it is shaped entirely by hand in the Damaskos atelier in Athens.
About The Product
This pendant is defined by a single, deliberate motif: the Rodaka, a stylized flower form rooted in Minoan decorative art dating back over three thousand years. It sits at the center of the piece in polished 18K gold, set against a hand-worked surface that frames it with quiet contrast. The design draws directly from Archaic-period ornament — not as reproduction, but as continuation.
The pendant is worked in 18K gold and weighs 5.20 grams. Its surface is finished using the martillé technique — a method of controlled hand-hammering that creates an uneven, velvety texture across the gold. Unlike a smooth polish, martillé catches light irregularly, giving the piece depth and warmth that changes with movement. Every mark on the surface is the result of direct hand-tool contact; no two pendants are identical.
Damaskos is a family atelier based in Athens, working within a goldsmithing tradition that traces to Byzantine and pre-Byzantine Greece. Each piece is made to be worn — not stored. The martillé finish and the weight of the gold make this pendant suited to daily wear as well as formal occasions, and it is intended to acquire meaning over time rather than simply signal it.
