This necklace is inspired by Empress Elisabeth of Austria—“Sissi”—the free-spirited woman who loved riding, poetry, and the wind. Before she became a princess, she was a traveler of her own destiny.
At the center of the pendant lies a cultivated Alexandrite, known as the “traveler’s stone,” famed for its remarkable color-changing ability. Under daylight, it reveals a serene bluish-green glow; under lamplight, it transforms into warm purplish-red. This duality mirrors Sissi’s life: the tension between public duty and private freedom, between brilliance and quiet selfhood.
Surrounded by meticulously set brilliant stones in a vintage cluster style, the necklace shimmers like starlight around the moon—capturing both regal grandeur and subtle personal strength.
