The 2016 Summer Olympic Games are underway in Rio and, in addition to the spectacular opening ceremony plus of course the dynamic athletes, there is an undeniable glamour and majestic appeal to the entire event.
Whether fortunate enough to see the games in person or just supporting from the sidelines at home, getting into the Olympic spirit feels most stylish when channeling the thing every athlete dreams of taking home — a medal.
Medallions and medal inspired jewelry constructed of ancient coins or a decorative circular motif make a statement with the sense of history and distinct texture they carry.
Generally larger in scale or just plain oversized, these pieces pack serious head turning style with beautiful craftsmanship and a wonderfully hefty weight that, whether done in bronze, silver or gold, is sure to be a winner.
