Diana Pendant

Diana was the Roman goddess of hunting, nature, childbirth, and later the moon. In Roman art, she often appears with a bow and a hound or deer. On this coin, Diana is shown with a bow and quiver, while the reverse depicts a hunting hound with a spear.

As a fertility deity, she was invoked by women to aid conception and delivery. The celestial character of Diana is reflected in her connection to guidance, both in life, the afterlife and as a bearer of light in darkness. She played a crucial role in protecting and honouring childbirth, helping to preserve humankind.

Though perhaps originally an indigenous woodland goddess, Diana became Hellenised and identified with Artemis. The most famous place of worship for the goddess was the grove of Diana Nemorensis (“Diana of the Wood”) on the shores of Lake Nemi at Aricia (modern Ariccia), near Rome.

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.
