Amsterdam Metropolis Necklace
14 kt Gold

Amsterdam Metropolis necklace

Stylish necklace with the three St Andrew's crosses that are central to the coat of arms of Amsterdam along with the words heroic, determined and merciful. Three great things to strive for. For the modern woman who wants to show a touch of Amsterdam in a subtle way.

Playful & chic in 14 kt gold 

The elegant design of the three crosses on the chain has a playful yet chic character, which means that it can be worn in almost any situation. The crosses are made from certified 14 kt gold and are therefore strong and yet easy to keep clean with a silver cloth.

The three crosses in the Amsterdam coat of arms

At the heart of the Amsterdam city coat of arms are three St Andrew's crosses, named after the Apostle Andrew, who martyred to such a cross would have died. The coat of arms consists of three vertical bands in the colours red-black-red. The crosses are in the black course. The origin of the coat of arms is not known. The black course would depict the water to which the city is located, as in the coat of arms of Dordrecht and Delft. The St Andrew's crosses are possibly taken from the coat of arms of the Persijn, a family from Waterland, who once owned a lot of land in and around Amsterdam.

The Riverstones brand

After a trip to Bali, Ronja Brall decided to change course and focus entirely on establishing Riverstones. Her goal was for Riverstones to become the first sustainable and affordable jewellery brand that’s inspiring to women. She does so by creating sustainable and fair jewellery, using Max-Havelaar-certified fair-trade silver and gold and ecological packaging. All jewellery is made by hand in Bali. It couldn’t be more beautiful.
