The Olive: A Timeless Greek Symbol
Handcrafted in Greece
by Stilvi
Stilvi's most popular collection expresses the importance of the olive in Greek culture in sterling silver with freshwater pearl accents.
This collection combines a 14k gold leaf with sterling silver. A symbol of strength and honor for the victorious—this one honors our modern day Olympics.
Created in Volos, Greece, Stilvi Jewelry is by artist Kostas Papalexandratos. Stilvi has a personal approach to contemporary jewelry, inspired by symbolism and depictions of Greek history and mythology, such as the symbols of spirals, the meandros, and olive tree. All pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
From ancient stories of the Odyssey, and the naming of Athens, to athletics, commerce and religion, the olive has played an important role throughout Greek and world history.
Our art history professor Maria Evangelatou has helped make an educational experience to help us all understand the impact of this tiny fruit!
