Phoenicia Necklace

Phoenicia is inspired by the ancient coastal civilization where artistry, trade, and the Mediterranean Sea were inseparable. Each element of this piece is designed as a quiet echo of history—crafted to honor heritage through form, texture, and symbolism.

At its center lies the most defining element: hand-picked sea glass from the shores of Tyre. Shaped by sea and time, each piece of glass is naturally formed and entirely unique, directly connecting the design to the Mediterranean world where Phoenician culture once flourished.

The design is completed by four symbolic beads, arranged with intention:

Swirl Filigree Bead
Inspired by flowing filigree and wired scroll motifs found in Phoenician carvings, this bead reflects movement, balance, and the natural rhythms celebrated in ancient Lebanese craftsmanship.

Swirl Tube Bead
Etched with continuous scroll patterns, this elongated form mirrors ancient architectural and temple motifs, evoking sacred texts, stone columns, and enduring knowledge.

Granulated Dome Bead
A tribute to the high art of Phoenician goldsmithing, this bead draws from ancient granulation techniques once reserved for ceremonial and elite adornment. Its raised domes and rich texture bring a sense of royal depth and timeless elegance.

Phoenician Fish Bead
The sculpted fish symbolizes sustenance, prosperity, and the deep bond between Phoenician coastal cities such as Tyre and Sidon and the sea that sustained them.

Crafted on a thick gold chain, Phoenicia balances strength with refinement—designed to feel substantial, enduring, and intentionally bold.

Handcrafted and designed by Celine Ftouni, this piece is deeply personal—rooted in the rich cultural legacy of Lebanon, and inspired specifically by Tyre’s maritime history and artistry. Every element is thoughtfully chosen, every bead hand-placed, making each piece one of a kind.

Phoenicia is more than jewelry. It is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and timeless sophistication—crafted to carry history forward, one detail at a time.
