"Feres" Ring

Ring inspired by the “engagements”, a type of bracelet worn in Thrace and generally in the Balkans during the neo-Hellenic period. This particular ceremonial jewellery characterised by the prominent rosettes reminiscent of the female breast, was worn by local women from their wedding day until the birth of their first child. Its extremely small size indicates the remarkably young age of the women that used to wear it.
