from the museum to your wardrobe

hello!

i’m natasha and i design and make jewellery inspired by the ancient mediterranean world at plato’s fire. i studied classics at the university of st andrews and have been making jewellery since 2016!

my aim is to combine ancient aesthetics with modern materials. my first collections have been inspired by greek vases, mediterranean goldsmiths, and minoan frescoes. each piece is cut out using laser-cutting technology, then painstakingly glued, assembled, and polished by me in my home studio in scotland!

please feel free to send me asks about my work, about the ancient mediterranean, or just scream at me in my inbox about your favourite ancient greek! ✨💛

Apollo and Dionysus at Delphi

Attic vase

Fourth century BC.

The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

Apollo, with a crown of laurel, is welcomed to Delphi by Dionysus, who is bearded and carrying the thyrsus. Between them is a palm tree, a symbol of Apollo and victory, triumph, peace and eternal life. Beneath them is the Delphic omphalos or navel, center of the world. Behind them is a palm tree, and the other figures are maenads and satyrs, followers of Dionysus.

According to the legends, Apollo entrusted Delphi to his brother Dionysus during winters. Hence during the winter season, only dithyrambs were played in the temple Delphi instead of the usual paeans and the Maenads in turn sang in the honor of Apollo as well.

Panathenaic Prize Amphora with Lid, 363–362 B.C.

35 1/4 in.

The Panathenaia, a state religious festival, honored Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Held in its expanded form every four years, the festival included athletic, musical, and other competitions. Amphorae filled with oil pressed from olives from the sacred trees of Athena were given as prizes in the Panathenaic Games. These amphorae had a special form with narrow neck and foot and a standard fashion of decoration. One side showed Athena, the goddess of war, armed and striding forth between columns, and included the inscription "from the games at Athens." The other side showed the event for which the vase was a prize.
