Handmade Bronze Olive Branch Wreath “Circle of Peace”
Surrender to the absolute harmony of the circle and the timeless promise of peace with the “Circle of Peace” – a refined, handmade bronze olive wreath that stands imposingly on a stable volcanic lava base. Each leaf, each fruit, and each turn of the wreath has been carved with passion, creating a decorative piece that speaks directly to the heart.
Materials & Construction
- High-purity bronze: All elements—the wreath, leaves, and olive fruits—have been cast using the traditional lost wax technique, ensuring a rich relief texture, faithful reproduction of organic curves, and durability.
- Hand-gilded: Each leaf and branch has been gilded with a thin layer of 24-karat gold, giving it warm tones, a shiny finish, and a play of light and shadow.
- Stable base made of volcanic lava: The natural, porous stone—a product of the earth’s raw materials—provides stability and contrasts with the soft glow of the metal.
Inspiration & Symbols
- Circle: Symbol of completeness, unity, and eternal motion; the circle of the wreath seals eternal rebirth and completion.
- Olive wreath: Universal symbol of peace, victory, and harmony; here it is renewed in three dimensions, as a reminder of the value of reconciliation.
- Volcanic lava: Represents the warm heart of the planet, where the roots of life are born — a gift from the earth that unites matter and spirit.
