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.

- Ancient Greek 5th Century BC Swan Coin 18K Gold PendantBy Steven BattelleLocated in Soquel, CAAn authentic ancient Greek coin from the region of Cilicia (now in Western Turkey) with a beautiful depiction of a swan is featured in this Steven Battelle pendant design with intricate hand applied doubled spirals accenting the bezel. This is a rare coin almost never seen in jewelry. This coin predates the time of Alexander the Great when each Greek city-state minted their own distinctive coinage.
