The (Perceived) Beauty of Zolotas products from Greece

Concerning Zolotas, Greece

[繁體中文字:] 唔唔。那麼,我在網上看到了 Zolotas 有賣珠寶首飾的。雖然我不知道他們 CREAID 有什麼事兒了,但是我覺得人家 Zolotas 的設計精美呢!呵呵!我看到了人家希臘設計師的設計,令我感到開心!

[In the English language:] About the brand ‘Zolotas’, which is apparently from Greece, they seem to have some sort of a ‘Byzantine Empire’ collection of jewellery. I’m starting to look at that, a little bit, and wondering whether those absolutely hard-core academics who work with the history of the Byzantine Empire (perhaps at Oxford University, perhaps at Cambridge University) would admire Zolatas’ artistic and creative endeavour. Or, would they disapprove of what they do, in any way? Would they feel ambivalent about the creative endeavours, for a myriad of reasons? I would have to contact the academics/ authors, to ask them, what they think, if anything. And, does the absolutely average person in the general human population know anything at all about the Byzantine Empire anyway? Perhaps not. Perhaps, nothing.

The question for me is, then, how can anything from the Byzantine Empire speak to my heart, mind, and soul? What is that saying to me? What has the Byzantine Empire got, to show me, as a human being? Would I want to see that? What is the legacy of the Byzantine Empire? The ‘Zolotas’ designers, what’s going on in their heads as they design the jewellery? What is going on in their minds, hearts, and souls? What’s even going on across their hands, and all that?

I cannot deny that their Byzantine Empire collection of jewellery items is full of intricate beauty that is uplifting to the human spirit, my heart and soul- dare I say it.

    I thought they just liked the snappy and somewhat recognisable name but looks like they took genuine inspiration from Byzantine jewellers and their techniques. Does it mean anything to the average person? No. But they have added history nerds to their clientele list, I guess.
