The Story of Shield of Athena

I love Athena because I think she was the most badass of all the Greek gods. She was smart, powerful, beautiful, and she did not fuck around. You did not want to mess with her. Ever.

So powerful, yet still with a shield. That’s fine. Every hero has a shield. Not only to protect, but also to raise over one's head in glory.  This is Athena’s aegis. 

I feel like the combination of symmetry and craftsmanship is what makes this ring so intense. A bit conservative perhaps, but that is its power. It’s timeless. It’s elegant. This is the ring for you when you need to be strong.

My Athena is my mother, but you have her inside you. She is there to help you lead even in the most conservative encounters, and is ready to celebrate your victories.

My Favorite Parts of this Ring

This ring amazes me.  On every single woman, it looks hot!  Do you have a pair of shoes that make you feel beautiful?  This is the ring version of those shoes.  If you are having a hard time choosing a ring for yourself, and want one that you know will bring you joy, Shield of Athena is my recommendation, this ring is a sure thing.

America

This ring is intended to symbolize what America means to you.  You can carry that meaning with you and wear this ring proudly.

To me, the American flag represents the best ideas humanity has discovered. There are three that rise above all others: Freedom, opportunity, and equality. I would love to hear what the American flag means to you.

I grew up in Miami, and my parents are Cuban, so when I visited Cuba in 2000 with my sister, parents, grandmother and aunt, I expected a nostalgic trip where I would be envious of their past. My family has been Cuban for centuries, but during that trip I did not feel any nostalgia for Cuba. What I felt was how shockingly American I am, and how proud I am to be American. It was as if no one on the island had ever read Animal Farm.

P.S.  Incidentally, my wife Sarah’s grandmother’s name was America, and I wanted to name my daughter America, but my wife wouldn’t let me. America raised 10 kids of her own and adopted 2 more. They all went to college and 3 served in the United States military. She was an amazing woman.
