  • Description

    This ring is a replica of the legendary ring of king Minos of ancient Crete, depicting a summary of the Minoan conception of the divine and the unity of the universe, and adorned with 3 zirconia gemstones.  More than a statement ring, it is a symbol of status and personal power.

    “…If you are the son of the god Poseidon, then prove it and get a ring from the depths of the sea”, – Minos answered Theseus and threw a golden ring into the sea. A replica of the legendary ring of king Minos of ancient Crete and one of the most representative examples of seal-carving of the Minoan civilization.

    The scene depicted on the charm is a summary of the Minoan conception of the divine and the unity of the universe.

    A threefold appearance of a Minoan goddess: she is floating in the air at the top of the seal; below it, she is watching the worship ceremony, sitting in her own temple; and then finally, she is ferrying her temple across the sea on an elegant boat in the form of a seahorse. The goddess appears at once in three elements – air, earth and water, linking the entire Universe and transferring power over it.
