About the Item
A authentic ancient coin with classic image of the goddess Athena wearing a crested helmet is displayed between two 1.8 MM diamonds and surrounded by stacked large and small hand applied granulation in this Steven Battelle high carat gold creation. This coin is from the Greek colony of Taras in Calabria (now the city of Taranto in the "heel" of southern Italy) from 302-228 BC. The other side of the coin depicts Hercules wrestling the Nemean lion, which was the first of Hercules 12 labors. Athena was associated with wisdom and handicraft and was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which she most likely received her name. This ring is currently sized 6.5. It is resizable. This piece comes with a laminated coin certificate of authenticity.

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.
