- The Heads of Moru | A symbol of Sicily since the 12th century from the 19th century to the present day
These facial designs are not just decorations—they are a symbol of the heart of Sicily. From Palermo to Catania, in every house, in every garden, on every terrace, there stands a couple—a man and a woman—who remind us of the island’s glorious history, the power of love, and the richness of its culture.
The legend dates back to the 12th century. In the 11th century, when Sicily was a thriving crossroads of civilizations—Arab, Byzantine, Norman, and Latin influences converged in one place, creating the unique artistic and architectural language we know today as the Sicilian style.
The pair of Moru heads symbolizes royal dignity, loftiness, and the balance between the feminine and the masculine. They are always depicted as proud, noble figures wearing magnificent crowns adorned with pearls, coral, and gold—just like the royal blood of Sicily. Each piece is a work of art.
These medallions are 6 cm tall, handmade, and adorned with 24-karat gold, natural pearls, and coral—just as in ancient times, when jewelry spoke not of fashion, but of belonging, honor, and heritage.
They are the pride of Sicily. And now it’s yours, too.
