The Diadem of Salacia | Cuepoxy Collectible Mug #1

In Roman mythology, Salacia is associated with the sea and is remembered as Neptune’s consort. In the story told in our Mythological Gallery, she retreats into the depths rather than accept a crown simply because it is offered to her. A dolphin carries Neptune’s message to her, and Salacia decides for herself whether to return.

The Diadem of Salacia celebrates that choice. Its ocean-inspired design evokes the blues and greens of sea glass, the contrast of light and dark pearls, and the starfish at the heart of the original artwork. On this mug, the image becomes a daily reminder that a crown means more when you choose to wear it.
