Golden Ring "Eros"

A masterfully crafted tribute to Eros, the mischievous Greek god of love whose golden arrows could bind hearts in unbreakable devotion—and whose leaden arrows could inspire bitter rejection. This intricately textured band depicts the divine archer whose power transcended even the immortals.

According to myth, Eros once mocked Apollo's archery skills and paid him back by shooting the sun god with a golden arrow of obsessive love for the nymph Daphne, while striking Daphne with lead to make her flee in terror. When his own mother Aphrodite commanded him to curse the beautiful mortal Psyche, Eros instead pricked himself with his own arrow and fell hopelessly in love with her, defying the goddess of love herself. His arrows decided fates: he made Medea betray her family for Jason, enabled heroes to succeed, and reduced the mighty to lovesick fools.

The ring's ornate relief work captures this duality—flowing organic forms suggesting both tender romance and chaotic passion, delicate sculptural details embodying the god who was simultaneously depicted as a playful child and a primordial force of creation. Bold yet refined, this piece transforms the caprice and power of ancient love into wearable art.
