Twin Lions Gate Ring
Twin Lions Gate Ring
An open ring, sculpted like a small relic, with two lions facing each other at the ends β not as decoration, but as guardians. Their forms are raw and archaic, as if carved for a temple. The pair echoes Greek mythology: the lion of Nemea defeated by Heracles, symbol of invincible strength, and the lion pairs that guarded sacred gates, like the Lion Gate of Mycenae. In ancient Greek symbolism, the lion is the animal of the sun, of royalty, of heroic courage β so here we place two, standing watch.
Worn on the finger, the ring becomes a circular gate of protection: the two lions look outward, as if they are watching over the wearer. Itβs a piece for someone who wants to carry power, light and guardianship in a more primal, mythic form β not polished, but alive. It says:
βI am the house β and these are my lions.β
