Ancient Greek 2nd Century BC Gaul Apollo Coin 18K Gold Ring
About the Item
An authentic silver "obol" coin (200 - 121 BC) from the Ancient Greek colony of Massalia (now Marseilles in Southern France) depicts the Greek god Apollo in profile. Massalia was founded around 600 BC by Greek settlers from Phocaea (now modern Foca, Turkey) and became the main Greek trading post in Gaul (France). Apollo was a primary Greek god of many things: including music, poetry, art, prophecy, truth, archery, healing, sun and light. This coin is set in a Steven Battelle designed ancient-inspired handmade hammered wide band 18K setting with 3 "jawan" granulation accents. It is currently sized 7. It is not easily resizable. Sent with laminated lifetime coin certificate of authenticity.

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.
