A 1950s Ilias Lalaounis 18K Gold Ram’s Head Brooch/Pendant

For serious antique jewelry collectors, Ilias Lalaounis represents the pinnacle of Greek craftsmanship and artistry. This exquisite 1950s 18K gold brooch/pendant, designed in the shape of a ram’s head, perfectly captures the spirit of ancient Greek mythology—majestic, powerful, and deeply symbolic.

The ram, in both Greek legend and Eastern zodiac symbolism, represents gentleness, harmony, and noble purity. Its serene expression and flowing mane are masterfully carved, revealing impeccable detail and lifelike dimension. Handcrafted in solid gold using Etruscan-inspired techniques, this piece exudes both ancient strength and refined sophistication.

Every curve and texture tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship, a hallmark of Lalaounis’ design philosophy—where history, mythology, and artistry unite in timeless beauty.

Founded by Ilias Lalaounis, a visionary Greek jeweler regarded as the southern European master of jewelry arts, the brand redefined luxury through the fusion of ancient culture and modern creativity. Lalaounis remains the only jewelry designer ever inducted into the Académie des Beaux-Arts in France, an honor that speaks to his status as one of the world’s most celebrated jewelry artists.

This ram’s head brooch embodies that same artistic legacy—a wearable piece of history, radiating the power, purity, and mythical beauty of Greek civilization.
