| Description |
When Europeans first visited the New World, they
brought back tales of El Dorado, a jungle city
built of shining gold, whose citizens went about
arrayed in precious metals and gems. A necklace
such as this, recreating the ancient Sinu style,
may have been the inspiration for those legends.
The person lucky enough to wear it today is
destined to become legendary as well.
