About the Item
An authentic and verified Ancient Greek Gold Stater from 336-323 BC displaying Athena in a Corinthian helmet is set in a complementary Steven Battelle 22K pendant design accented by five 2mm VS1 diamonds. This coin has been examined and certified by David Sear, who is the author of numerous books on ancient coinage, and is recognized as THE pre-eminent world authority on ancient Greek coins. His laminated certificate is included. The coin is set gently into a 22K (soft) bezel and care has been taken to not damage or modify the coin in any way that would reduce its value. Care should be taken when worn. The coin was minted during the reign of Alexander the Great, and depicts Athena wearing a crested Corinthian helmet decorated with a serpent. The reverse shows Nike standing left, holding a ring and a stylus, with an eagle below the left wing. The handmade pendant displays the coin on a hammered matt-finish background ornamented with square wire spirals and diamonds. The gold coin weighs 8.7 grams and is 18mm in diameter. This is a rare and unusual coin not usually seen in jewelry.
A chain is not included but can be provided additionally.

Steven Battelle
Using ancient coins and traditional Balinese gem setting techniques, Steven Battelle’s jewelry offers history in the palm of your hand. The American jewelry designer and his team create pieces inspired by and incorporating historic coinage and materials used in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Asia.
Battelle first encountered cabochon stones, which are gemstones polished and shaped rather than faceted, on a trip to Southeast Asia in 1987. A predecessor of modern jewelry, cabochons inspired Battelle to pursue a jewelry hobby while continuing to work as a veterinarian for exotic animals.
He became fascinated with the ornamentation styles used by ancient Majapahit Java and Siam cultures, eventually transitioning from veterinarian work to designing jewelry full-time. He developed a partnership with Balinese jewelry makers, a collaboration which became a key component in realizing his designs.
The Balinese partners hand-make each piece using traditional methods that have been passed down for generations. While conventional blow torches and modern tools are used in much of the work, the heart of the jewelry’s creation is grounded in an artisanal approach.
