Mythological Greco-Roman Design Jewels
The name of this extraordinary project is a statement of intent; since “Ars Signum”
means in Latin “jobs, professions or occupations that leave a trace, imprint, or
mark”, referred to both in antiquity as today.
The challenge,unique for the originality of its approach, revolves around the discovery of
the deep relationship between Greco-Roman mythology and today’s professions and
proclaims that the symbolism and the aesthetics of gods and characters from that time is
still alive in contemporary culture
With this project we express through art and design, the similarities that exist between
attributes and values that Greeks and Romans attached to their gods, heroes or
characters, and today’s professions

We only use the best quality precious metals and natural stones in our jewels. From 18k
gold (.750 purity fineness), sterling silver (.925 hallmark), or ruthenium and rhodium
platings, to diamonds ( Brillant cut) and natural amethysts (Cabochon cut).
Even some parts which the eye can barely see are made of precious metals, like the
hooking bolt from pendants, earrings or bands, which is made of 18k gold, instead of
other metals like steel, in order to increase its durability.
Below you can find a diagram with some of our pieces and a detailed explanation of the
materials we use.
