Silenus Large Handmade 925 Sterling Silver Ring
The large Silenus 925 sterling silver ring is a striking handmade piece of jewellery inspired by one of the most distinctive figures of the Dionysian world of ancient Greek mythology.
The Sileni were mythological figures associated with nature, flowing waters and the fertility of the land. In ancient Greek tradition, they were regarded as wise beings with prophetic abilities and a close connection to music.
Silenus became closely associated with Dionysus, wine and the Dionysian world. As a chthonic figure, he symbolised the connection between the upper and lower worlds and was associated with fertility as well as the cycle of life and death.
A Statement Ring with Dionysian Character
The larger version of the ring gives greater prominence to the figure and details of Silenus. Its larger surface creates a jewellery piece with a bold visual presence while preserving the mythological symbolism behind the design.
It is a contemporary interpretation of an ancient figure closely connected with Dionysus, wine, nature and wisdom.
Handcrafted in Ikaria Exclusively for Afianes Winery
The ring is crafted from 925 sterling silver by the Ikarian silversmith and goldsmith Fakaros Jewellery.
The design was created exclusively for Afianes Winery, bringing together contemporary Ikarian silversmithing, ancient Greek mythology and the cultural tradition of wine.
Silenus and the World of Dionysus
In ancient Greek mythology, Silenus is presented as a close companion and teacher of Dionysus. His association with wine, wisdom, music and nature creates a natural connection with the world and philosophy of Afianes Winery in Ikaria.
The large version is ideal for those looking for a more prominent statement piece with a strong visual presence and distinctive mythological identity.
The ring is unisex and available in all sizes.
