Why a Spiral?

The spiral started in ancient Greece as a symbol of immortality and resurrection. It never went out of style.

Greeks used it on jewelry and on buildings, in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. An immortality spiral bracelet follows that double life.

Spirals in Stone

Architects carved spirals as volutes on Ionic capitals. The Ionic order began in the 6th century BC in Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor.

The Erechtheion in Athens is a purely Ionic temple. Its scrolls echo the coils on this bracelet. Spirals also curl through Greek vase painting and coin borders, where they fill the space around a central figure.

Wearing and Display

Wear the Greek spiral bracelet alone or with a plain watch. Wipe with a soft cloth. Ask us if you prefer another length.

About Greek Ornament

Greek ornament favored repeated shapes in strict order. Waves, key patterns and spirals appear on vases, buildings and jewelry. It keeps that order. A Hellenistic link bracelet like this is a modest echo of the museum originals.
