Mythology
Even as a baby, Hercules was strong. While still in his crib, two giant snakes crawled in with him sent by his jealous stepmother Hera. The snakes would've squeezed him to death, but Hercules grabbed them near their heads and held on until the snakes stopped squirming. Hercules conquered many monsters that became constellations, such as Leo the lion and Hydra the water snake.
About Vicenza Gold by Tagliamonte
This unique collection from Vicenza (Venice) Italy is the result of five years of research which lead to the rediscovery of the ancient art of Venetian Cameo gems. Mr. Nino Tagliamonte, along with two Venetian artists, successfully experimented with original Roman blending, processing and casting methods to develop a formula allowing them to create Venetian Cameo gems identical to the antique originals. Available in a variety of colours and set with 14K and 18K gold, the gems are hand wrought with incandescent glass, and the exact colour is established only when cooled. These beautiful works of art rival the most breathtaking genuine gemstones!
