1600's Venice Silver Lion of St Marks Coin Diamonds 18K Gold Pendant
About the Item
An authentic silver "1/4 Ducato" coin from Venice depicting the Venetian Lion of St Mark is set within a "wire and jawan" handmade 18K gold with 4 accent 1.8mm VS1 diamonds setting in this Steven Battelle designed pendant. The winged lion holding a Bible is the symbol of the city of Venice and formerly of the Republic of Venice. The lion is one of the four living creatures described in verse of the Apocalypse of St John 4:7 as having a place around the throne of the Almighty that are chosen as symbols of the four evangelists. The lion also symbolizes the power of the Evangelist's word, the wings symbolize the spiritual elevation, while the halo is the traditional Christian symbol of holiness. The opposite side of the coin depicts St Mark presenting the kneeling doge (Chief Magistrate and leader of Venice) with a staff with pennant and cross. This coin was issued during the realm of Marcantonio Giustiniani, the 107th doge of Venice between 1684-88. This pendant is sent with a laminated lifetime coin certificate of authenticity. The handmade hammered 18K gold chain shown is not included but can be ordered additionally. It comes in 18”, 20”, and 24” lengths. We discount our chains 20% when ordered with a pendant.

Steven Battelle
After a chance trip to SouthEast Asia in 1987, Steven Battelle became fascinated with the jewelry and iconology from the ancient cultures of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Asia. 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. If you wish to create your own special piece, similar to a style we make, please let us know, and we'll see what we can do.
