Zeus is considered to be the ruler, protector, and father of all gods and humans. Depicted here is a rare, ancient Greco-Egyptian Ptolemy hemi-drachma minted 221-204 BCE. Our Zeus is bezel-set in a 22k frame and mounted with eight bezel-set coral-hued rustic diamonds in the corners. The pendant is harnessed to the chain of the necklace by a simple gold ring, allowing for lovely movement on the body. The toggle bar is set with a pair of old-cut white diamonds in its end caps. Chain is fully hand-wrought.
