The double-headed eagle is a symbol that dates back to the 15th century, when the national hero Skanderbeg, who fought against the Ottomans until his death in 1468, used a seal with a double-headed eagle.

The double-headed eagle is also found on the Albanian flag, where the black double-headed eagle was first seen on the Albanian flag in the 15th century, when the country became part of the Byzantine Empire, and according to legend, Albanians are descendants of this black eagle.

The pendant is a strong national symbol, and can be worn with advantage on a slightly thicker gold chain to emphasize the strength of the symbol.
