The double eagle is a symbol that goes all the way 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 eagle.

The double eagle reappears 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 descended from this black eagle.

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