In mythology, the belt worn by Aphrodite represented the magical object that embodied all the charm and seductive power of the goddess and was in fact borrowed by Hera in the Iliad to seduce Zeus. However, a belt was given by Ares to his daughter Hippolyta, queen of the Amazon virgins, as a symbol of her rank and power and the object of Heracles' ninth labour, who was tasked with stealing it.
An accessory that fastens the dress, preserving the female body from view and thus increasing its mysterious charm, the belt is a symbol of a woman's beauty.
Inspired by the heroines of myth, Dorotea Landi belts are made entirely of 14-carat gold and illuminated by a micro-pavé of natural white diamonds.
