Aspides

The “ASPIDES” bracelet is an extraordinary fusion of history, symbolism, and artisan refinement, paying homage to the protection of ancient Greek warriors. The name “Aspides” derives from the Greek term “ἀσπίς” (aspís), which referred to the round shields used by hoplites, the heavily armed infantrymen of Ancient Greece. These shields were not merely tools of war but powerful symbols of protection and belonging, closely tied to courage and honor.

Expertly crafted in sterling silver 925, the bracelet is adorned with gold-plated details, presenting five finely decorated circular elements, each set with a luminous natural peridot. Peridot, with its intense golden-green hue, has been known since antiquity for its protective and regenerative qualities. In ancient Greece, this gemstone was revered as a talisman believed to ward off dark forces and bring prosperity and renewal.

The combination of silver’s reflective shine and the golden-green hues of peridot creates a captivating play of light, evoking the majesty of the decorated shields of ancient Greek warriors. The design’s interwoven chain detail recalls the strength of ancient armor, infusing the bracelet with a sense of protection and the strength of those who wore it.

Every engraved detail reflects the geometric patterns typical of Greek art, symbolizing the balance and harmony of Hellenic civilization. Wearing the “Aspides” bracelet means carrying the strength of ancient warriors and the protective energy of peridot, embodying the resilience and elegance of ancient Greek heritage.
