The girl wears a veil, symbolizing purity, and gazes reverently at a chalice before her, representing the sacred act of Holy Communion. The radiant gold finish enhances the pendant’s timeless beauty.
The pendant has been stamped on the ring with the name: Oria. Maison Oria is a French society established in 1897, that was specialized in the production of high-quality gold-filled jewelry.
