Kyanos - Ancient Greek Blue

Well, following the trend of Greece inspired mood, the masterpiece I am going to talk about today is a totally different story. It was not based on any Greek mythology (even though I was dying to... and in fact I was a little bit obsessed with Poseidon - or maybe with the ocean color), and it was not so complicated work. Indeed, it was very simple, just a combination of blue, green and special lamp-work gems to create another view of this ocean color reflect on jewelry - another name for blue - KYANOS


Why "Kyanos"?

In Greek mythology, the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry. And Kyanos was a name used in Ancient Greek to refer to dark blue tile (in English it means blue-green or cyan). And hence, it explained why this masterpiece has its own special long shape and combination of three main colors - symbolize for ocean, land and storm with living creatures - on earth.
