22 Karat Gold Mycenaean-Inspired Lily Flower Link Bracelet

About the Item

22 Karat Yellow Gold Mycenaean-Inspired Lily Flower Link Bracelet by ROMAE Jewelry. Our incredible "Ilithyia" bracelet is inspired by a Mycenaean gold example from the area of Phaistos, in Crete, dating 1400 to 1300 BC. It is made up of small links that are supposed to recall the white lily, a popular motif that was ubiquitous in Minoan and Mycenaean art. The white lily appears in several examples of Bronze Age frescoes on Crete, for example, but it is particularly prevalent in ancient jewelry. The white lily rendered as a bead (as it is with our bracelet) was perhaps the most popular form, as dozens of examples in gold, ivory, and other materials have been found in archaeological excavations across the island. The popularity of this motif, and thus the white lily itself, suggests that the flower may have held special meaning for its ancient viewers. Ilithyia is a goddess that may be traced back to the Bronze Age in Crete, as her name appears in Linear B tablets (𐀁𐀩𐀄𐀴𐀊). In fact, she appears in the Iliad of Homer as the "goddess of childbirth" (16.187). In later Greek mythology, Ilithyia was the goddess of childbirth and midwives. She was, as well, the daughter of Zeus and Hera. Each piece of ROMAE jewelry is inspired by an ancient example, and is carefully designed and lovingly crafted in Rome by archaeologist and museum specialist Cris and artist Elena. Our pieces are made to order, and each is individually cast, hand finished and personalized, which allows for freedom of stone choice and special tailoring such as inscriptions and engravings. When shipped, each piece of ROMAE jewelry arrives with a product card that provides information about the culture, date, and find spot of the original piece of jewelry that inspired our design. Lead time: 4 - 5 weeks.
