Craftsmanship and Heritage in a 24k Gold Lion Necklace
This 24k gold winged lion necklace brings together old Persian symbolism and modern durability. The pendant is forged from 316 stainless steel, so it stands strong, much like the values it represents. Each piece is then coated with a laminate on polymer layer for lasting resilience and finished in radiant 24k gold that echoes the brilliance of Persian royalty. A natural onyx stone sits at its centre, and at 31cm in height with a 2.5cm plate width, it is both elegant and bold. It belongs to our wider range of Persian necklaces.
The Lion and Sun, a Symbol of Persian Identity
At the heart of this 24k gold lion pendant is the iconic Lion and Sun motif, known in Persian as Shir o Khorshid. It is a centuries old emblem of power, courage and national pride. Worn as part of an ensemble or on its own, it connects deeply to Persian heritage and identity. Wear it to a wedding, a celebration or simply as a personal expression. The winged lion necklace is more than jewellery, it is a wearable legacy.
A Persian Necklace for Men, and a Heritage Gift
Bold proportions and a tarnish resistant steel core make this a striking Persian necklace for men, and a meaningful gift for him at Nowruz, a birthday or any milestone worth marking.
This necklace is designed for:
- Cultural jewellery collectors who seek meaning beyond beauty
- Those honouring Persian roots, language, or symbols like the winged lion
- Gift givers celebrating heritage, history and elegance
