From the Latin "ignis", meaning fire - the root of ignite and ignition, and the word for the sacred flame tended in the Roman temple of Vesta - the Ignis Necklace sets a pear-cut garnet in 18k Gold Vermeil. Garnet has been worn since the Bronze Age as a stone of fierce energy and protection, its deep red read as captured fire. The pendant belongs to ARCHĒ's IGNIS — Fire capsule.

Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming, washing up, showering or exercising.
Avoid contact with chemicals, including fragrance and cosmetics, and abrasive surfaces, taking care to avoid catching on items of clothing.
Rinse in cold water, pat dry with soft 100% cotton cloth.
Some gemstones, like opals, are softer than others, and should not be submerged in water.
To ensure the longevity of your jewellery, store each piece individually in an airtight container to prevent tarnish and scratching.
Chains should always be laid flat or hanging, to avoid tangling or kinks.
Your jewellery is delicate and should be handled with care.
The care, wear, and storage of your jewellery influences its appearance; with gold vermeil wearing away gradually over time.
