Amazon Queen Necklace

  “To a strong Amazon Nation”⚔️

Once again, a much desired prop appeared, a set-used Amazon Queen necklace. This necklace was used in the Amazon tribes to differentiate the leader, or queen, from the rest of the tribe. The first appearance of these necklaces was in the episode “Path of Vengeance” from season 6, when all the Amazon queens were reunited to judge Livia for her crimes, and later on “To Helicon and back”. 

After Terreis death, Gabrielle received her “Right of Cast” which means that she will inherit her status and belongings, and become an Amazon Princess. After, Gabrielle as Amazon Queen received her own amazon queen necklace too. 

  

The necklace is composed of several pieces; the most striking piece is the central large round shell with an ethnic detail inside and some black feathers around, there are other two smaller shells in both sides. Also, the necklace combines some oval Batik bone beads, originally from Africa, with some smaller round carved metal beads.

So finally, I am able to almost complete my Varia costume.

Gabrielle Screen worn Necklace Amulet

Recently added to my collection this screen worn Gabrielle necklace used by Gabrielle played by Renée O’Connor during the season 6 of the tv series. As far as I know, there's only another original necklace prop out there, sold by the same company to other collector and the one in Te Papa museum of New Zealand from Gabrielle stunt double, Jo Staverly. 

 

This one in particular was sold by "Shed 11 Costume House" some years ago, it comes with the original box. It was stored during all these years. I feel really proud of been able to almost complete with screen used pieces my Gabrielle season 6 costume. 

 

The necklace is made up of 5 beads: one silver leaf shaped pendant amulet, two wired silver beads on each side, that surprisingly are each one different of the other, and two silver round beads. I made a quick comparative view with the replica sold by Creation Entertainment and I can definitely say that Creation necklace beads are silver casts of the screenused pieces.
