Ancient Greek 5th Century BC Corinthian Helmet Coin Silver 18K Gold Mens Ring
About the Item
An authentic small silver "diobol" coin from ancient Mesambria in Thrace 450-350 BC depicts a warrior in Corinthian helmet facing. Mesambria was a Doric Greek colony on an island in the Black Sea in what is now Bulgaria. The Corinthian helmet was a helmet made of bronze that had slits for the eye and mouth. The Greek hoplite (soldier) would often wear the helmet tipped up for comfort when not in use. This uncommon coin is set in a large/small 18K gold twist wire accented bezel atop a simple matte-finish hammered sterling shank currently sized 10.5. It is resizable by your local jeweler. This ring is sent with a lifetime laminated coin certificate of authenticy. It is quite unusual in ancient coinage to have a frontal image, with most coins showing a side view. Rare, classic and unique!

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.
