Epic Goddess Athena Locket

A stately oxidized sterling silver locket encases a beautiful dimensional relief bronze coin of Goddess Athena. Her profile a reminder of her associations with wisdom, strategic warfare, courage, strategy and civilization. Large rigid bale and ornate granulation all around her profile, like a crown of rays that could easily stand for the many virtues attributed to the Goddess. The locket opens for a keepsake and has elaborate carvings on the back. Inspired by a gold stater of Alexander the Great (circa 323 BC), the coin replica features Athena with the Corinthian helmet and a griffin on the front. On the reverse side (inside the locket) is an image of Nike holding a wreath and a stylus along with a caduceus under her right wing. The word ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ ("of Alexander") is inscribed on the side. The silver chain shown in the accompanying image is a hand made 25" herringbone chain (priced at $850 and sold separately). The video shows how to open the locket from the side, to reveal a compartment for your secret keepsake or personal effect.
