Alexander's divine legacy, set in fire and stone.

This pendant holds a silver tetradrachm issued by Lysimachus, one of Alexander the Great's successors, during the early Hellenistic period (c. 297–281 BCE). Struck in the wake of empire, the coin immortalizes Alexander as a deified figure his portrait crowned with the horns of Ammon, echoing his claimed divine descent.

The reverse reveals a seated Athena Nikephoros, goddess of victory, cloaked in authority and calm resolve. Her presence proclaims the enduring might and order of Macedonian rule.

The ancient silver is housed in a regal 18K solid gold bezel, encircled by 56 brilliant rubies and four square sapphires each gemstone carefully chosen to enhance the power and depth of the original design. The rubies radiate boldness and command, while the sapphires ground the piece in a cool, timeless nobility.

A statement of ambition, divinity, and historical resonance worn not just as jewelry, but as an heirloom of power reborn.

Jewelry Care Instructions

  • Avoid Contact with Chemicals

To preserve your ancient coin jewelry, keep it away from perfumes, cosmetics, paint, and other chemical substances. These may cause adverse reactions with the coin's surface. Never wear your coin jewelry while bathing in hot springs.

  • Prevent Scratches

Handle your piece with care and avoid contact with rough or abrasive surfaces. We recommend storing the coin or coin-set jewelry in a soft cloth or a dedicated jewelry box when not in use.

  • Minimize Oil & Grease Exposure

Avoid touching the coin directly with oily fingers or allowing contact with any dirt. If contact occurs, gently clean the surface with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its condition.

For light dust, use a soft-bristled brush with clean water, or gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. For stubborn residues, you may use a damp cloth with warm water but do not apply excessive pressure.
