Nike Ring

The intaglio ring is inspired by a segment of a carved block with the winged Goddess Nike.

 

Nike was the goddess of victory in Greek mythology, depicted as having wings, hence her alternative name “Winged Goddess”. She was the daughter of the Titan Pallas and the goddess Styx, sister of Kratos (power), Bia (Force) and Zelus (zeal). The four siblings were companions of Zeus, and Nike had the role of the divine charioteer, flying above battlefields and giving glory to the victors.’

 

Intaglio_ Ancient engraved gems, which were historically worn mounted on finger rings, intaglios are designs cut as a depression into the surface of the gem.
