Ancient Greek Authentic 5th Century BC Ephesus Bee Coin 22K Gold Ring
About the Item
An authentic ancient early Greek silver "drachm" coin from Ephesus 500-420 BC, is held in an ancient-inspired double twist wire bezel atop a tapered matte-finish shank in this beautiful Steven Battelle designed ring. Ephesus was an ancient Greek colony established in what is now the western coast of Turkey. It was one of the primary cities of the region throughout ancient times, continuing through the Romans. The ruins there are often visited today. The bee and the deer were sacred to the Greek goddess Artemis, the patron goddess of Ephesus. Artemis is the Olympian goddess of the hunt, the moon, and chastity; in time, she was also associated with childbirth and nature. This very early archaic type coin depicts a bee with the Epsilon and Theta denoting Ephesus. The ring comes with a laminated coin certificate of authenticity. It is currently sized 7. This ring is resizable.

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.
