Side A: boy victor and man.
From Caskey & Beazley, plate L. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

One of the most legendary athletes in the ancient world, Milo of Kroton, wore the victor's crown at Olympia no less than six times. Born in southern Italy, where Greece had many colonies, Milo won the boys' wrestling contest in 540 BCE.

At the Museum of Jewelry, we keep the hand-crafted arts alive. Every Museum creation is an original work of art. Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted by master artisans from historical designs-shaped, detailed and embellished using the same age-old techniques as have goldsmiths and lapidaries through the ages. No two stones or settings are ever alike, every piece has slight variations and formations.

Patience and care are crafted into each and every hand made museum original. From the stones which are faceted using the same time-honored techniques of the smiths of old, to the shaping, detailing, and embellishment that lapidaries and goldsmiths have perfected through the ages, each of the historically based designs in our collection is perfected in its own rite.

Enjoy your journey through some of history's most magnificent jewelry and objets d'art. At the Museum, we believe there is a direct line from the imagination of the original artist, to the hands of our master craftsmen and women, to you-who give these extraordinary visions from the past new life.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy your journey through some of history's most magnificent jewelry and art, recreated here by the Museum of Jewelry.
