The Daphne Gouri Coin Necklace

On the Daphne Gouri you can see two branches of laurel engraved. Since Antiquity, the laurel wreath has been regarded as a powerful symbol of victory. In Ancient Greece, wreaths of laurel leaves crowned victors of athletic competitions of the Ancient Olympic games and were also awarded at the Ancient Greek Pythian Games at Delphi. The ring was made in wax first to give a vintage texture and then cast in 18k recycled gold using the ancient technique of lost wax casting.
