Ever since I was a boy, I have loved classical mythology. There is a real life leader that inspired her own rich mythology: Cleopatra. A female leader like Cleopatra might seem exceptional today, but I like to imagine a future when a great leader like Cleopatra will not be an exception, but the rule. My wife Sarah introduced me to the eye symbol, which I like to believe represents the strength of female leadership. There is no place that female leadership is more clear than in motherhood. Under a woman's patient and ever-watchful eye, she sees clearly, empathizes, and protects her loved ones, which I believe are the characteristics required for visionary leadership. This 92.5% sterling silver lapel pin, which also comes plated in 22 karat yellow gold, features gorgeous reverse-set cubic zirconia gems for a completely unique look that displays the typically hidden facets of a woman's power. Like Cleopatra, I hope my lapel pin reminds you of how great a leader you can be, too.
MY CLEOPATRA – This gorgeous 925 sterling silver eye themed cocktail lapel pin, which also comes plated in 22 kt yellow gold, was inspired by the strength of female leadership as embodied by Cleopatra. Each CZ gemstone is reverse set for a completely unique look. A cocktail piece should be personal, and the best cocktail pendants symbolize your relationship with yourself. Like Cleopatra, I hope my pendant reminds you of how great a leader you can be, too.
HANDMADE AWARD-WINNING DESIGN - Each Pharaoun piece is designed by me, Sergio Andrés Mendoza, and is handmade in my workshop with a level of expertise that shows my obsession with quality in craftsmanship. Each piece starts with 92.5% sterling silver being molded using the lost-wax casting technique and takes shape with each hand set CZ. It is polished, plated if needed with 14K gold, and then must pass a rigorous inspection to meet my demanding quality expectations.
A REMINDER OF YOUR STRENGTH - I don’t create my jewelry to empower women; you are already powerful. I hope you love the beauty of my design, but more importantly I hope my jewelry reminds you of your power, your independence, and your beauty. I created Pharaoun to honor the women in my life and now I would like to honor you. My jewelry collection, designed in Miami and handmade in my workshop in Turkey, is not like other collections; it is personal and reflects your relationship with yourself.
A GIFT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET – A Pharaoun piece is the perfect gift for yourself or your favorite woman. Each piece comes ready to be gifted in a rich purple velvet bag inside my signature presentation box. Your mom, daughter, sister, grandmother, or best friend would love to receive a Pharaoun piece for their birthday or Mother’s Day. My pieces also make wonderful gifts for an anniversary, bridesmaid’s gifts, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, graduation, or any occasion you would like to commemorate.
MY PERSONAL GUARANTEE – I am obsessed with craftsmanship and quality, and I want you to love each one of your Pharaoun pieces. If for any reason your piece does not surpass your expectations and you would like to return your piece to me, just ask. I will purchase it from you for the full original purchase price, no questions asked.
