Vintage Sterling Silver Green Stone Oversized Ring with Laurel Shank and Milgrain Bezel

Vintage Sterling Silver Green Stone Oversized Ring with Laurel Shank and Milgrain Bezel-
The laurel leaf’s story begins with the sacred groves of Laurus nobilis, the bay laurel tree. In Greek mythology, the tree was linked to Apollo, god of music, poetry, prophecy, and the sun. According to legend, the nymph Daphne was transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo’s pursuit. In devotion, he made the laurel his sacred plant, crowning victors of the Pythian Games — predecessors to the modern Olympics — with woven wreaths of its fragrant leaves. The Romans embraced the laurel’s prestige, presenting laurel crowns to generals, statesmen, and emperors in celebration of military victories and civic achievements. To wear the laurel was not merely decorative — it was to be marked publicly as a person of distinction and honor.
