Do Van Tri is the designer who has accompanied the Road to Olympia for nearly 10 years in making the final laurel wreath. The material of the laurel wreath is always carefully selected by the designer and is usually made from brass, which is light, flexible, and has a metallic shine similar to real gold. (Photo: VTV)

After completing the manufacturing process, the wreath will be carefully inspected to ensure that there are no errors and that it meets the highest standards. The final stage is polishing, sanding, cooling, and carefully grinding to avoid sharp edges, losing worm holes, and polishing to perfection. The wreath is plated with 18K real gold to add luxury and value, and coated with nano to prevent oxidation and corrosion, making it durable over time. (Photo: VTV)
