Legendary gold jewelry unearthed from the past, weaving exciting tales of protection, love, and loyalty. Release 02 is comprised of 5 awe inspiring Sustainable gold pieces from Ancient civilizations that have stood the test of time, and remain eternal today. 

ORIGIN:
JEWELRY FROM ANCIENT GREECE

Gold in Ancient Greece, was considered to be most precious and thought to be the skin of the gods. It is frequently mentioned in Greek mythology, and everyone men, women, children, kings and queens loved to adorn themselves in this rich, warm hue.

The wearing of gold jewelry in Ancient Greece was a part of everyday life, with each piece heavy with meaning and symbolism.

Earrings often represented magical compulsion, and protection from harm. Bracelets and rings called upon the idea of the infinite, and symbolized our bonds with the people we loved.

As you can see, gold jewelry was worn for many of the same reasons we wear it today: For love, magic, protection, religious expression, and simply to compliment our style and personalities. 

With such an important history, it's no surprise that many of the LEGENDS pieces we've chosen to handcrafted in 18kt Fairmined Ecological gold come from this time and place in history.

THE 800BC RING

Hailing from its namesake, the 800BC ring is a unique work of unparalleled artistry and design. Ancient Greeks would wear gold spirals in their hair, the original mode de port of this type of ring. Today we have modernized it by crafting it as a beautiful finger-ring that you can wear and treasure forever.

A one-of-a-kind ring that is just as inspiring today as it was when it was conceptualized in Ancient Greece over 2800 years ago, engraved by hand it features the iconic Grecian key pattern, symbolizing infinity.

We love to imagine how beautiful this ring was, styled by the Ancient Greeks with their togas and sandals, and how after all this time the 800BC ring is just as contemporary for styling with jeans and a classic white tee in today's world.

ancient power hoops

This particular style of hoop was so highly regarded as a design, that many similar earrings became prevalent across Ancient Europe. The Ancient Power Hoops have been worn and immortalized in artworks and sculptures by the ancient Minoan (Greek) culture. This style was very popular among women as they believed them to be powerful talismans of protection that would ward off negative energy.

Ancient Minoan women were tasked with the gathering of saffron, a then expensive commodity. They wore these hoops for protection against harm while gathering this highly sought after spice.
