Daphne: the nymph who became a tree

Daughter of the river god Peneus, Daphne is a forest nymph, a symbol of freedom and independence. Courted by Apollo, she begs her father to save her. He then transforms her into a tree: the laurel . This founding myth makes the laurel foliage a symbol of transformation and protection , but also of wild femininity and escape.

Daphne-inspired jewelry captures this symbolism through soft lines, stylized leaves, and golden finishes that capture the light as the legend captures the imagination.
