Pomegranate: The Sacred Seed of the Earth
The sweet seed of the pomegranate. An emblematic symbol that indelibly characterizes Eleusis and all the legends that connect it to history, spanning from ancient times to the present and into the future.
Pomegranate is the universal and all-time symbol of prosperity and rebirth, also inextricably linked to the Olympian goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone, goddess of spring, who both represent the beginning of the perpetual blossoming and the passing from season to season. All jewellery is made of silver 925o or gold-plated silver and 14k - 18k gold.
In the Eleusinian Mysteries, the priests adorned their heads with wreaths made of pomegranate branches, and one of the seven items given to the initiates was the pomegranate. The pomegranate symbolizes prosperity, rebirth, and is closely connected to the goddess Demeter and Persephone, representing flowering and the change of seasons. When Persephone descended to the underworld to Hades, he offered her the sweet seed of the pomegranate to make her forget her loved ones and return to him forever.
