The Valdaro Lovers Necklace In Silver

These skeleton lovers are a hand carved, original piece inspired by a recent archeological find.  A collector of my work turned me onto the this image.  It's very compelling. " Love you to death......"

Specs : The piece is 1.3 inches long (33.5mm) and an inch wide (25mm) It's 2.25 mm thick. It's cast as one solid piece of sterling silver. You can't bend it. I doubt even you could break it.  It comes on an open link rolo style chain in your choice of 18, 20 or 24 inch lengths.

The so-called Lovers of Valdaro, also dubbed as the "Valdaro Lovers," are a pair of human skeletons dating back 6,000 years discovered by archaeologists at a Neolithic tomb in S.Giorgio near Mantova, Italy, in 2007.  The two skeletons appear to have died or were interred facing each other with arms around each other, thus reminiscent of a "lovers' embrace".

Archaeologist Elena Maria Menotti led the excavation.  Scientists believe that the pair is a man and woman no older than 20 years old and approximately 5'2" (157 cm) in height.  They were removed from the ground intact and sent to Musei Civici in Como where they are undergoing analysis.
