ayquebella.com



This terrific and elaborate charm pendant highlights one of the most popular cities in Brazil, São Paulo. This elegant travel shield has the beautiful city’s coat of arms on an ornate, floral, silver base. The coat of arms is a white flag with the red cross of the Portuguese Order of Christ, being held by an armored arm, on a yellow castle crowned, red backdrop on a white background. The cross of the Order of Christ pays homage to both the Portuguese influence and the Jesuit fathers. The shield is flanked by coffee branches with a noble motto in Latin, “NON DVCOR, DVCO" or “Non Ducor Duco” which means, “I am not led, I lead." The travel shield is enveloped by an ornate, floral silver scrolled base, highlighting its heraldic majesty.

The silver on this remarkable charm pendant has an antiqued, matte finish, a very rich, natural patina that may require a light polish, if desired, and shows minor signs of wear and aging consistent with its age that are undetectable to the casual observer. This terrific charm pendant will make a subtle statement of history and culture on your favorite bracelet or necklace!
