The Triskelion, charm for 2023, is crafted in 18K gold hallmarked in Cyprus. The triple spiral or Triskelion, derived from Greek for three legged, is one of the oldest symbols used by many cultures across the globe between the Neolithic to Bronze Age. The earliest appearances, dating back at the 5th and 4th Millennium BC, are encountered on the Island of Malta and Ireland, though it is also found on Mycenaean gold artefacts, shields and ships. Having the ability to always stand straight and maintain it’s course, it is believed to be symbolic of strength, progress, change, innovation and the ability to move forward overcoming extreme adversity.
The charm can be purchased alone or attached to a 40 cm long link chain as shown on the model. It also comes in sterling silver, alone, on a chain or attached on a flexible cuff.
The Triskelion, charm is part of Maria Kotsonis’s Charmed collection that draws inspiration from the universal language of symbols, transcending the ages and cultures and the collective unconscious.
