Get arty with this necklace which features three famous icons.

This necklace is perfect also for people who like to change things around a bit as you can wear all three art charms at the same time or wear each charm solo on different days, depending on your mood :)

Your three charms are:

1. Vitruvian Man
If you've read the Da Vinci Code or watched the movie, you'll know that this charm is based on one of Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous drawings from the early 1400's. It depicts the perfect proportions of the human body.

Vitruvian was an Ancient Roman architect who said that buildings should be designed based on the proportions of man because the human body is the perfect model. (Read more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/gallery/vitruvian.shtml)

2. Winged Nike of Samothrace
I remember seeing this beauty on a visit to the Louvre many years ago! The statue of the Greek goddess of victory (Nike) dates back to between 220 and 190 BC.

Even though it's missing its head and arms, the statue still commands attention. It is so finely crafted, Nike seems to be on the verge of taking flight.

3. Michaelangelo's David
By some estimates, this is the most recognizable statue in the world. This marble statue stands more than 5 metres tall! It depicts King David of the Bible, just before his epic battle with Goliath.

In person, even the replica (at the Piazza della Signora in Florence, Italy) is impressive. I think i may still have a photo somewhere from our trip there years ago. Read more about this statue here: http://www.squidoo.com/michelangelosdavid

This necklace set comes with all three charms (which are lead-free pewter). All other silver bits are 925 silver and you choose the length of the necklace (also 925 silver - it's a fine chain).
