Fifty miles south of the City of Iraklion, in the island of Crete, the visitor will find the ruins of the second biggest city of Minoan Crete, Phaistos. Among other precious findings, the archaelogical dig unarthed a disc of fired clay . It is 15cm in diameter and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols.
The Disc of Phaistos is one of the pieces of my ceramic handmade jewelry that always generates interest. Archaelogists have been trying to decipher the disc without any success. There are many theories behind its meaning. Some experts claim the disc to be a form of calendar, whereas some others believe that it a geometric theorem.
The Disc of Phaistos has inspired artists to create jewelry pendants similar to the disc found in Crete. One will find the disc in gold or silver. My handmade Disc of Phaistos is a ceramic pendant made in Greece and it comes in many different colors. Visitors always enquire its meaning and get more interested and excited when they hear about the mystery covering the Disc of Phaistos.
I found out that each time the artist takes the time and effort to convey the meaning of a particular jewelry piece to the consumer, the opportunity to close the sale increases significantly.
The Disc of Phaistos transmits a mystery and magic to the buyer.
