HERCULES AND CUPID — THE STRENGTH THAT YIELDS The strongest hero in the ancient world and the smallest god — Hercules and Cupid meet on this bezel in a scene that has lasted two thousand years. Hercules completed his labours, carried the world on his shoulders, defeated monsters and giants. Then Cupid arrives, and everything changes. The greatest force yields to the most tender of forces. This is the beautiful paradox of this scene — and the EOS ring carries it to the finger in a few square centimetres of intaglio. The band's architecture plays on essential volumes: a gentle dome on the outside that gives character, a flat and silky inner core that slides onto the finger with ease. A ring free from fixed sizes — adjust it with one gesture, move it from finger to finger as the mood changes. The bezel rises clean, letting the scene take everything. Wearing it is a small daily pleasure. The colour tells the scene in different ways. Orange is warm and fleshy — the colour of citrus, of Sciacca coral, a light that awakens the senses. The two figures emerge vibrant, full of life. White carries the purity of sculpture: every muscle of Hercules, every wing of Cupid in full relief, like marble. Black is the most dramatic — the carving becomes intense and precise, the tension of the scene concentrated. Green is the colour of life in things: like malachite, like the planet — it gives strength a note of balance and renewal.

SIZE GUIDE
Find your size
Simple steps to measure the correct size of your finger:
- Measure your finger at the end of the day;
- Do not measure your finger when it is either too hot or too cold;
- Don’t forget that our hands are not identical, and that a ring that might fit on a finger on our left hand might not fit on the same finger on our right hand;
- Please be sure to check that your selected size slides along the full length of your finger.
To measure the circumference of your finger, you can use a taylor’s tape measure, or take a look at our video demonstration for another technique (which will require a ring that fits on your selected finger.) This size corresponds to the circumference, which you must use to find your corresponding appropriate size. (S - M - L - XL)

Hercules and Cupid
The mythological hero Hercules (or Herakles) was famed for his great strength and endurance and celebrated as an extraordinary mortal who, through success in seemingly impossible labors, won his immortal place amongst the Olympian gods. Being the greatest of Greek mythological heroes, he has been ascribed a multitude of adventures and heroic exploits over the centuries which were probably originally connected to lesser, more local figures. In mythology it was Zeus who lay with Alkmene and so fathered Hercules, explaining the origin of Hercules’ great strength. Hera, the wife of Zeus, was (understandably) always jealous of Hercules and made life difficult for him from an early age. The goddess delayed his birth so that his cousin Eurystheus would be born first and so become the ruler of Greece according to Zeus’ decree. Hera also sent two snakes to kill the newborn Hercules, but the baby easily strangled them. Hercules enjoyed divine favour from the Olympian gods and he was particularly favoured by Athena.
