In Greek antiquity, the turtle shell was often seen as a symbol of longevity and stability, mirroring the enduring nature of the cosmos itself. 

The intricate patterns on a turtle shell can be likened to the vast, interconnected tapestry of stars and planets, each marking a point in time that stretches across eternity. 

Just as the cosmos is a harmonious and ordered system, the turtle shell embodies resilience and timelessness. 

These sentiments have been beautifully captured by Maramenos & Pateras in the "Cosmos" collection. 

The designs not only resemble the protective shell of a turtle but also echo the boundless and eternal universe, uniting earthly wisdom with celestial grace.
