History

Apollo was a major ancient deity, essentially Greek but also worshipped in Rome. He had many aspects. He was depicted as a beautiful youth, often called “shining,” sometimes a sun god, the brother of the virgin goddess Diana, who was a moon deity. Like her, he hunted with a silver bow, and he was called the far-shooter. On the reverse, one can discover the iconography of a horse – a prominent animal on Roman coins. The horse is loved for its strength, intelligence, speed, loyalty and beauty. It is associated with paying homage to the horses of war.

Care

Each ancient coin and artefact used in our jewellery has been restored and professionally stabilised to ensure it can be enjoyed for lifetimes. Patina, the natural toning and oxidation on silver, bronze, and copper coins, is not dirt; it is a protective layer formed over hundreds of years, adding to the coin’s unique history. Conservation efforts aim to stabilise and preserve these valuable patinas whenever possible. Silver naturally tones over time, developing a soft to deep grey with brighter highlights on raised surfaces. This toning is highly coveted, adding a touch of age and beauty to the coin’s details that only time can provide.
