Ancient elegance reimagined in gold and sapphire flame.
This extraordinary ring showcases an authentic 1/2 drachm silver coin from Pontus Amisos, a coastal city of the ancient Hellenistic world, located along the southern coast of the Black Sea. It is a relic not only of empire but of artistry its details crisp, its legacy enduring.
On the obverse, Hera queen of Olympus gazes outward in serene divinity. She is the embodiment of sovereignty, sacred union, and feminine command. The reverse depicts a war eagle, wings spread in flight a symbol often associated with Zeus, representing divine authority, victory, and the swift execution of will.

Surrounding the band are thirty hand set sapphires, each 1mm in size, shimmering like constellations around a divine relic.
