Since the time of ancient mysteries we have
been called to listen to the voice of heart. Like
a guiding thread, it helps us to get out of
labyrinth of fuss and problems.
"Ariadne's Thread" is the name of a stone dedicated to ancient Greece. A Labyrinth, faithfully reproduced from an authentic Cretan coin, is located on a vast field of 225 squares, like a chessboard, covering the crown. The surrounding meander pattern resonates like an ancient Greek melody. Both the Labyrinth and the meander are also executed in fine matte lines, the longest of which are formed by fifteen separate fragments of equal width, merging into a single continuous line! A 12-pointed star, inscribed within a flower with wide petals, shines on the pavilion, symbolizing the wealth and prosperity of Greek civilization.
