Ancient Greek, 330 B.C, Silver Coins Set in 22K Gold Hand Hammered Earrings.
About the Item
Ancient Greek silver coin ( a Tetradrachm or drachms) struck circa 330 B.C. of Alexander the Great: the obverse (front) displaying the profiled head of Alexander possibly wearing the skin of a lion facing right and the verso of a seated Zeus, seated with a bird in his right hand.
Surviving today in excellent condition with fine detailed relief, the coins, which are different, are mounted well in hand hammered 22K gold. The silver coins measure 17 mm., the entire earring measures 1 1/8th inches in diameter. The earring backs are made well. The craftsmanship of the hand hammered gold surrounding and setting off the silver ancient coins is finely executed.
These very smarty, on the ear earrings weigh exactly 33.6 grams (for the pair) which exude all the sophistication and good luck that would have made Alexander the Great - Proud.
Now for a pierced ear lobe, they can be altered for a non-pierced ear lobe.
Please note our model is a size medium to large.
Today, a preponderance of jewelry is machine made in large factories around the world with abundant and obvious suspicions as to its enduring qualities using not only inferior stones, but also man made stones and treated stones utilizing artificial substances.
Alternatively, these well crafted earrings, centering highly unusual (primarily because of their lack of wear) ancient coins, are a wonderful combination of the ancient and the contemporary.
