Athena Flip Ring

Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, lends the coin a quiet authority. Shown in profile, her helmeted head combines strength with restraint, her calm, idealised features reflecting her role as protector of the city.

On the reverse, the ear of barley serves as a clear and potent symbol of agricultural prosperity. Carefully stylised to fit the compact flan, the barley ear speaks to fertility, sustenance, and the land’s capacity to support its people. In Greek coinage, such vegetal motifs were often civic emblems, instantly identifying the issuing community while celebrating the economic foundation on which it relied.

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.
