THE DESIGN

"Filo", meaning "leaf" in Greek, were often used to make laurel wreaths. Laurel wreaths signify triumph and would be worn by the victors of the Ancient Olympic Games. The Greek god Apollo is also often depicted wearing a laurel wreath in association to Daphne, a nymph that turned into a laurel tree due to Apollo. The Filo Earrings pays homage to these many meanings while keeping the imperfection found in nature with the tear in the middle and uneven texture.
