This magnificent Diana cuff bracelet features an 18 mm silver Denarius serratus, struck in 81 BC under A. Postumius Albinus in the Roman Republic. This superb example, with its museum quality and extremely fine (EF) condition, is beautifully toned with iridescent hues.
The coin depicts Diana, goddess of the hunt, with her bow and quiver over her shoulder. A bucranium, an ox skull, is represented above her profile as a symbol of ritual sacrifice. The sacrifice can be seen on the reverse: a figure dressed in a toga stands left, sprinkling the sacrificial bull with a branch, a lighted altar standing between them.
This beautiful coin is set facing a masterly executed and iconic attribute, an arrowhead, sprinkled with 28 grey diamonds and ‘tied’ with a gold cord. The cuff-bracelet, expertly crafted in 18k yellow gold, is flexible and comfortable for effortless wearability and safety. This elegant and timeless cuff-bracelet with its sophisticated design is a wearable and meaningful piece of history.
"Flexible and comfortable for ease of wear and safety, this simple yet sophisticated piece holds a place in jewelry history by virtue of its cultural importance and 21st century design, rarity and preciousness."
