Ancient Greek 5th Century BC Turtle Stater Coin Diamonds 18K Gold Pendant
About the Item
Some of the very earliest ancient Greek trade coins ever minted were from the Sardonic gulf island of Aegina, starting circa 550 BC. The coins featured a sea turtle on the obverse and a simple abstract punch on the reverse. These "turtles" coins circulated widely and impressed neighboring Athens enough that they began to circulate their own silver coins ("owls") a few decades later. This authentic silver stater coin from Aegina 480-457 BC is held within a wide textured and hammered Steven Battelle designed 18K gold handmade setting. Three sparkling 2.5 to 1.9 mm VS1 diamonds are set below within varying sized "jawan" granulation. The 18K handmade hammered chain shown is not included but can be ordered additionally. We discount our chains 20% when ordered with a pendant. This pendant is sent with a laminated lifetime coin certificate of authenticity. A NICE specimen of one of the earliest and rarest of the ancient Greek silver coins! Beautiful...

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 rings, earrings and other accessories 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.
