Helios was the Titan god of the sun, a guardian of oaths, and the god of sight. He dwelt in a golden palace in Oceanus at the far ends of the earth from which he emerged each dawn, crowned with the aureole of the sun, driving a chariot drawn by four winged steeds. When he reached the land of the Hesperides in the far West he descended into a golden cup which bore him through the northern streams of Okeanos back to his rising place in the East.

Medallions have a long and rich history as adornments worn by humans throughout time. The term "medallion" comes from the Latin word "medalia," which means a coin worth half a denarius. The first medallions were actually coins, and they were often given as rewards or prizes for military service or other achievements.
Over time, medallions evolved from being just coins to being decorative objects worn for their aesthetic value. They were made from a variety of materials, including gold, silver, bronze, and even glass or plastic. Medallions were often engraved with images or designs that had symbolic or religious significance.
In some cultures, medallions were believed to have magical properties and were worn as talismans or amulets to protect the wearer from harm or to bring good luck. In others, medallions were worn as a symbol of status or rank, such as in the military or in religious orders.
These medallions are hand sculpted in wax, cast into 14k yellow gold, then given a satin finish, each one made entirely by hand.
Yellow gold has been a highly sought-after material for centuries, prized for its beauty and durability. The history of yellow gold dates back to ancient times, when it was used to create jewelry and other decorative objects. In fact, the use of yellow gold can be traced back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
One of the reasons why yellow gold has remained so popular throughout the centuries is its intrinsic value. Gold is a rare and precious metal that has a high level of durability and resistance to tarnishing. This has made it an ideal material for jewelry and other decorative objects that are intended to last for generations. Additionally, gold has long been associated with wealth and prosperity, making it a symbol of status and prestige.
Another factor that contributes to the lure of yellow gold is its longevity. Unlike other materials, such as silver or copper, gold does not tarnish or corrode over time. This means that gold jewelry and other objects made from the metal can last for generations without losing their beauty or value.
Its rarity and durability have made it a prized material for centuries, and its association with wealth and prosperity has only added to its allure. Whether worn as jewelry or used in decorative objects, yellow gold is a timeless material that will continue to be treasured for generations to come.
