Every other one is a creature or a person. Libra is an object, a set of scales, an idea about balance that the Romans thought was worth hanging in the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrown Trifari reverse carved it into glass. The scales and their laurel wreath are cut into the back of the disc, so they read as frosted white from the front, floating inside the clear crystal with nothing behind them. Turn it toward a window and the whole thing goes luminous. The frame is a braided openwork band with a Florentine finish, held to the glass by four small tabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a good story in those stars. Before Rome claimed them for the scales, they belonged to Scorpio. The two brightest stars in Libra are still called Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali, which translate to the southern claw and the northern claw. Someone decided balance mattered more than the sting, and took the claws off the scorpion to make room for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned on the reverse of the bail, and still on its original Trifari chain, in its original pink box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned Crown Trifari, crown over T with copyright mark, on the reverse of the bail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse carved intaglio glass, frosted scales within a laurel wreath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold tone braided openwork frame, Florentine finish, four tab prongs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Trifari rope chain with cylindrical signed bail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirca 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent vintage condition, glass clean and free of chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal pink presentation box included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear it to remember:\u003c\/strong\u003e you are the one who decides where the balance sits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Inheritance Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47549112320162,"sku":null,"price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/6610\/7042\/files\/libra_01_front.jpg?v=1787347883","url":"https:\/\/www.theinheritancecollective.com\/products\/crown-trifari-libra-intaglio-pendant-necklace-1960s","provider":"The Inheritance Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
