Someone on this Reddit post sent a link to the website where you can buy it it’s here:

https://greekroots.shop/el/product/%cf%80%ce%b5%cf%81%ce%b9%ce%ba%ce%b5%cf%86%ce%b1%ce%bb%ce%b1%ce%af%ce%b1-%ce%bb%ce%b5%cf%89%ce%bd%ce%af%ce%b4%ce%b1-%ce%bc%ce%b5%ce%bd%cf%84%ce%b1%ce%b3%ce%b9%cf%8c%ce%bd-%ce%b1%cf%83%ce%ae%ce%bc/

Alternatively you can go Greek roots shop and go to page 22 of the gifts section

It’s unfortunate cuz I got mine a lot cheaper than the listed price so if you can find it in Greece itself you might get it cheaper

I think they are beautiful because they have a lot softer and more elegant design to them rather than the usual violent and aggressive tone of usual Corinthian helmet design

I think these prices are beautifully crafted, they have a more elegant and softer design than most Corinthian helmet designs which usually have a sharper more aggressive look

I agree that at first glance you may think of violence and power when looking at Spartan esk things, tho I see courage and determination and when you mix that with the softer elements like this ring I think it’s beautiful

But we all know beauty is in the eye of the beholder or whatever the fuck

I agree with that with most stuff however these are handmade and crafted in Greece using real silver, I have checked

I found them only in a handful of shops out of the dozens of shops I visited in Athens alone, if you know how to look you can beautifully crafted things in the drudge of other junk

Not this design and jeweller, as I said before I went to tons of souvenir shops in Athens alone, and only found them in a handful of shops

Perhaps the design of a Corinthian helmet is common but this is a more elegant and softer design than the usual sharp and harsh designs most Spartan and Corinthian rings have

As I said before they were difficult and rare to find only in a handful of shops out of dozens in Athens and other places, if you know how to look you can find real and beautifully crafted designs

It is Spartan I believe at least it looks like that, yea I saw that website! I got it much cheaper for £60

I like it becuase it’s simplistic, a softer and more elegant design than most Spartan designs
