The Ionic Cuff in 22K Gold Vermeil is inspired by The Temple of Athena Nike, an Ionic tetrastyle building completed approximately 420 BC, one of the most well-known structures for its ionic columns. Out of the three ancient Greek orders, ionic columns are said to be the highest, thinnest, and most ornate. The more you seek, the more you shall find the astonishing beauty of the Ionic Cuff hidden in small details of the hand sculpted ionic column to form a one-of-a-kind design. The alluring columns have witnessed Athena's joy, sorrow, bitterness, and happiness throughout the years, which made them a symbol of wisdom, guidance, and divine beauty. 22K Gold Vermeil on 925 Sterling Silver Handcrafted Design Our unique handcrafted jewellery designs are from 925 Sterling Silver that has been responsibly obtained and finished with 22K Gold Vermeil to ensure the rich gold lustre is preserved for a longer period of time.
