Ancient Greek 5th Century BC Medusa Coin Diamonds 22K Gold Pendant
About the Item
An authentic ancient Greek "drachm" coin from 450-400 BC featuring the face of Medusa with her protruding tongue and crown of snakes is set within a complementary intricate handmade opposing spirals bezel with 5 accent 1.8 mm VS1 diamonds in this Steven Battelle designed 22K gold pendant design. Medusa was the only mortal among the Gorgon sisters, and was also distinguished from them by the fact that she alone was born with a beautiful face. Ovid especially praises the glory of her hair, “most wonderful of all her charms.” The great sea god Poseidon seems to have shared this admiration, for once he couldn’t resist the temptation, and impregnated Medusa in a temple of Athena. Athena was enraged, and transformed Medusa’s enchanting hair into a coil of serpents. Henceforth Medusa's gaze would cause someone viewing her to be turned to stone. Apollonia Pontika (on the coast of the Black Sea) was founded by Greek colonists from Miletus in the 7th century B.C. The anchor on the reverse of the coinage is evidence of the importance of its maritime trade. This pendant comes with a laminated coin certificate of authenticity. The chain shown is not included but can be ordered additionally.

Eventually forming a partnership with a dedicated group of Balinese village goldsmiths using painstaking handmade techniques, they together create unique designs that incorporate those timeless and classic motifs. He incorporates primarily cabochon gemstones as well as ancient Greek and Roman coins, each piece capturing the feelings of a bygone age.
