The HYDRA cuff intertwines the rich narratives of Greek and Egyptian history, representing both the mythological and protective symbolism inherent in ancient cultures. Crafted by Rafael Indiana, each cuff is a testament to artisanal skill, hand-sculpted from wax, ensuring that no two pieces are alike. This uniqueness embodies the spirit of the Hydra myth—resilience in adversity. Hydra was a ferocious snake-like monster with multiple heads, one of which was immortal, and the rest of which would spawn multiple new heads if destroyed. Heracles finally killed the creature by cauterizing the necks with a burning torch.
The design echoes the multifaceted nature of the Hydra itself, featuring two of the creature’s many heads. The Hydra, with its roots deep in Greek mythology, remains a symbol of the timeless struggle between man and seemingly insurmountable challenges. Its story, particularly the battle with Heracles, illustrates the virtues of persistence, strategy, and collaboration in the face of daunting adversity.
This arm cuff not only serves as a statement piece of jewelry but also as a reminder of the virtues of persistence, strategy, and collaboration, making it a meaningful accessory for anyone who wears it. It bridges the past with the present, inviting wearers to reflect on their own challenges and triumphs.
Every Rafael Indiana product is handcrafted by artisans in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, from wax making each piece unique. We believe it gives the product its authentic ancient beauty. Every design comes with a unique story.
