Description
In ancient Greece Gold jewellery was mostly worn for public appearances or on special occasions. It was frequently given as a gift and was predominantly used by women to show wealth, social status and beauty.
Much of this jewellery was made from gold and silver with ivory and gems. It was either cast in stone or clay moulds or hammered out of sheet metal.
This Greek Owl Coin ring is made from lead-free pewter. The information card is full colour on the front and has historical information on the reverse.
