The Divine Conqueror

From the crucible of conquest rises this rare pendant an artifact from the age of Alexander the Great, struck at the Babylon mint during his lifetime, between 336 and 323 BCE. At once a work of art and a symbol of power, it bears the mark of the world's greatest military visionary.

Encasing this legendary coin is a custom built bezel of solid 18K gold, thick and architectural in form. Radiating outward are encrusted accents of 72 × 0.8mm sapphires, 10 × 1.7mm sapphires, 2 × 2mm sapphires, and 8 × 1.3mm rubies, each gemstone chosen to evoke the celestial empire Alexander imagined: stars, fire, and ambition rendered in precious stone.

With a commanding size and presence, this pendant is a tribute to ambition without limit a relic of when man dared to become god.
