Description

Men's Spartan Shield Pendant with Lab-Grown Diamonds in Modern Electrum™

The Λ the Spartans carried into battle, outlined in Lab-Grown Diamonds and framed by a full diamond rim. A hand-textured shield face reads like beaten metal, while the stones catch the light in hard points. It hangs on dark brown leather from a fluted bail, closed by a custom lock clasp designed in the workshop.

What does the Λ on a Spartan shield mean?

Λ is lambda, the first letter of Lakedaimon, the name the Spartans used for their homeland. Every hoplite carried it on his shield, and a Spartan came home with his shield or on it. It is a symbol of discipline, loyalty to the people beside you, and holding your ground.

What is the pendant made of?

The shield, bail and clasp are Modern Electrum™, a bright silver-white precious metal up to twice as hard as sterling silver that resists tarnish. The lambda and rim are set with round Lab-Grown Diamonds, D–F color and VS clarity or better. The cord is dark brown leather that softens and darkens with wear.

Is it made to order?

Yes. Each pendant is made to order in Queens, NYC in 7–10 business days, then shipped in a pouch. It makes a strong gift for a father, groomsman or anyone with Greek roots.
