14k Gold Genuine Ancient Greek Coin Necklace (Artemis Bee; 202-150 B.C.)
14k Gold Genuine Ancient Greek Coin Necklace (Artemis Bee; 202-150 B.C
This delicate charm necklace features a genuine Greek Ephesos Bee coin from 202-150 B.C. set with a 14k gold pronged setting.
EPHESOS - Greek cities liked to represent their cities with certain wildlife on their coins. Ephesos chose the bee and the deer as they are representative of their patron goddess, Artemis. Being the goddess of the hunt, Artemis was often shown riding a deer. Her priestesses were called "bees of the goddess"; and as such, the bee became a symbol for her.
*** PLEASE NOTE: This is the exact coin you will receive! As all of these ancient coins were made by hand (and have aged thousands of years), they all have unique shapes and printings; and are therefore one of a kind. I have included a link to the rest of our ancient coin necklaces below!
*** NOTE: Necklace comes with a certificate of authenticity.
