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 earrings posts and racket backs are not 22K). 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. 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. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box. We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango". We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond. Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%. Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
