Delphine & Natty's opinion

The "Achilles' Shield" design is directly inspired by the famous shield described in Homer's Iliad, a mythical object forged by Hephaestus, god of fire, for Achilles. The shield was a symbolic work of art, representing the entire world and human life. The earrings feature this epic motif, blending power and elegance.
