The Product: Ancient Greek style gold bracelet
An ancient Greek style gold bracelet inspired by ancient myths and legends. This piece forms part of the ‘Lismonia’ collection by Athens-based jewellery studio Bijoux Bizarres. Designs and motifs from this range relate to traditional tales from Greek mythology, representing the importance of living, loving and travelling passionately. These stories emphasize the importance of being able to dream which, in turn, equates with the elixir of youth.
The Lowdown
Bijoux Bizarres design and hand-make elegant ‘mythical’ jewellery for real people’. They draw inspiration from Greek mythology, history and traditions by re-imagining heritage patterns as modern forms. Each modular motif in the collection is representative of an entire period or cultural movement within the history of the Mediterranean region. The quirkily named collections derive from mythical Greek personas, stories or ornaments associated with them or states of mind and emotions inspired by them. Extraordinary heroines from Greek mythology whose attributes are often associated with the Mediterranean soul. Attributes such as love, strength, greatness, pride and sometimes contradiction, vanity & drama!
The hand-crafted pieces in this collection are created in limited numbers from an individual model that has been hand-hammered, using the ancient technique of repousée-on-pitch, to make it ‘perfectly imperfect.’ Hence, each subsequent casting is subtly unique. Gold-plated or rhodium-plated solid silver feature alongside freshwater pearls.
Styling Ideas?
This collection of jewellery takes you effortlessly from daytime to evening. Classical heritage and elegant design create enduring appeal, that will transcend fashions and trends. We’d team this elegant, ancient Greek style bracelet either with a simple, black or navy dress with mid-length sleeves to allow the bracelet to leap out against the dark clothing of the wearer.
