The shield is flanked by two golden lions. Above sits a crown, and below a banner bearing the motto \"Strength lies in unity\" (ძალა ერთობაშია). The cross of St. George – a red cross on a white field – adorns the Georgian flag. The current flag with five crosses was officially adopted in 2004, but the motif dates back to the medieval Kingdom of Georgia. Under Queen Tamar (1184–1213), Georgia experienced its Golden Age: the kingdom stretched across the entire Caucasus and was a centre of culture, architecture and poetry. Georgia is one of the oldest Christian nations in the world – Christianisation took place in 337 AD, just a few decades after Armenia. The Bolnisi cross, one of the country's oldest Christian symbols, dates from the 5th century and appears on Georgian coins, churches, and today on the national football team's jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeorgian Jewellery: Goldsmithing, Enamel and 8,000 Years of Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorgia looks back on a millennia-old craft tradition. The region's goldsmithing heritage reaches back to the Bronze Age: the National Museum in Tbilisi houses goldwork from the 3rd millennium BC that ranks among the finest in the ancient world. The cloisonné enamel technique (Minankari) is a uniquely Georgian speciality: ultra-thin gold cells are filled with coloured enamel – a technique that Georgian goldsmiths have perfected since the 7th century. The most outstanding examples are the gem-studded and enamelled icons and crosses in the monasteries of Gelati and Alaverdi. Georgia is also the world's oldest wine country: archaeological evidence confirms winemaking in Qvevri clay vessels dating back approximately 8,000 years – in 2013, UNESCO recognised Qvevri winemaking as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Wine motifs are also found in Georgian jewellery art. In the diaspora, jewellery with Georgian motifs serves a special purpose: the coat of arms around the neck makes belonging visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Quality of Our Georgian Crest Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/georgien-wappen-kette-damen\"\u003eGeorgian crest necklace for women\u003c\/a\u003e is crafted from 18K gold-plated brass for a particularly warm, rich gold tone.

Our crest necklace is made from brass with 18K gold plating – providing a warm gold tone that is waterproof and allergy-friendly. For craftsmanship, check the pendant: St. George, the lions and the crown should be cleanly worked and the relief clearly defined. The chain length of 40 cm + 5 cm extension fits most women comfortably. At d'origine, you order directly from our shop – no middlemen. We ship worldwide: free shipping within Germany, free across Europe on orders over €25, and affordable international shipping to the US, Canada, UK, Australia and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Many Georgians Live Abroad?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Georgian diaspora is estimated at 1.5 to 2 million people worldwide – compared to a home population of roughly 3.7 million. Russia hosts the largest Georgian community abroad at approximately 600,000. Turkey is home to an estimated 150,000 to 300,000 people of Georgian heritage, primarily Laz and Meskhetian communities. Within the EU, Greece hosts around 80,000 Georgians, with growing communities in Germany (approximately 30,000), Spain and Italy. In the United States, an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 Georgian Americans have settled, primarily in New York and Philadelphia. A particularly notable community exists in Israel, where approximately 100,000 Georgian Jews reside – one of the oldest Jewish communities in Georgia emigrated in the 1970s. A Georgian necklace is, for many, a daily sign of that connection – quiet, but unmistakable. At d'origine, we understand this feeling, because that's exactly why we founded the brand: jewellery that makes heritage visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seo-links-divider\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003ePopular Collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wappen-kette-v2-herren-edelstahl\"\u003eNecklaces Men\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wappen-ketten\"\u003eNecklaces Women\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/armbander\"\u003eBracelets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/schlusselanhanger\"\u003eKeychains\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/handyhullen\"\u003ePhone Cases\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/armenien-kollektion-1\"\u003eArmenia Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/aserbaidschan-kollektion\"\u003eAzerbaijan Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/russland-kollektion\"\u003eRussia Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/turkei-kollektion\"\u003eTurkey Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"seo-links__item\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/deutschland-kollektion\"\u003eGermany Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"georgien-wappen-kette-damen","title":"Georgian Shield Necklace | Women","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e100% waterproof and hypoallergenic \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePendant length: 2,4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChain length: 40 cm + 5 cm extension\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial gold: Brass + 18K gold plated\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial silver: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"d'origine","offers":[{"title":"Gold","offer_id":44436591542536,"sku":"GEO-WP-G","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":44436591575304,"sku":"GEO-WP-S","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0365\/2626\/0362\/files\/Georgien_WPG.jpg?v=1682430039"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0365\/2626\/0362\/collections\/Flag_of_Georgia_svg.png?v=1740389064","url":"https:\/\/www.dorigine.live\/en\/collections\/georgien-kollektion.oembed","provider":"d'origine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
