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.
