Golden crown laurel leaves

The golden crown of laurel leaves is a wreath of golden-colored leaves with embossed veins and finely serrated edges, which you wear as a band around your head.

Most striking is how the leaves overlap like roof tiles, so that the wreath lies across the front of your forehead as a continuous wave of gold. Women and men wear this laurel crown at a Roman or Greek party, as an emperor, general, or goddess in a toga.

The laurel wreath as a sign of honor in antiquity

In ancient Greece, the laurel was dedicated to Apollo, and winners of competitions received a wreath of laurel leaves on their heads. The Romans adopted this: a general who held a triumphal procession through Rome wore a laurel wreath as a sign of his victory. That is why everyone immediately recognizes a golden wreath of leaves as the headpiece of an emperor, and the word laureate for a prize winner still comes from it.

Golden earrings, brooch and eyeliner with the leaf crown

A golden laurel crown goes best with other gold-colored accents, such as hanging earrings or a round brooch with which you secure a red drape on the shoulder. Place the wreath slightly further back on your head with long hair, so that the leaves remain visible above your forehead and your hair falls freely over your shoulders. A sharp black eyeliner with an upward line gives a goddess look extra contrast with the gold. For men, a short hairstyle combed forward suits the emperor style.

Order the golden crown of laurel leaves and complete your Roman toga for the next Roman party.
