is a Greek collection of the Latvian jewelry brand VERBA, created by the designer Anna Fanigina. The collection consists of silver and electrum rings. Each ring is branded with its own „watermark” – a phrase on Ancient Greek, quotation or just with some words on simple and proper things for all times – fair wind, strong canvas, courage, love and joy.
The name of the collection is inspired by the list of ships in Homer’s epic poem, Iliad, Book two. Every ring as it were ship, that could float away together with you or stay on your arm as a great friend, stuggling against the waves of daily worries and aspirations. The rings are from silver and electrum, each has an inscription made with micro-chase technology, as mostly marine stones are used in this collection – aquamarines, as well as heliodors and quartzes.
The brand's name (VERBA) originates from the phrase “adbibere verba pūrō pectore” – “take these words with a pure heart” – depicting one of the main ideas of the brand: pieces of jewellery are not just pretty objects, but also carriers of feelings, thoughts and philosophy, it is a contribution from the heart.
