Greek Olive wreath sterling silver 925 gold plated handmade ring.

The Olive wreath also known as kotinos (Greek: κότινος), was the prize for the winner at the ancient Olympic Games.

It was a branch of the wild olive tree Kallistephanos Elea that grew at Olympia.

The branches of the sacred wild-olive tree near the temple of Zeus were cut by a “pais amfithalis” (a boy whose parents were both alive) with a pair of golden scissors.

Then he took them to the temple of Hera and placed them on a gold-ivory table.

From there, the Hellanodikai (the judges of the Olympic Games) would take them, make the wreaths and crown the winners of the Games.
