Bulgari Monete Ancient Greek Silver Coin 18K Yellow Gold Ring, 1970s–1980s
An exceptional unisex vintage Bulgari ring from the iconic Monete Collection, crafted in 18-karat yellow gold in Rome, Italy, circa 1970s–1980s.
The ring features an ancient Greek silver coin, believed to be a diobol from Apollonia Pontica, Thrace, dating to circa 404–342 BC, depicting the striking frontal face of Medusa (Gorgoneion). The reverse bears an anchor, the emblem of the ancient Greek maritime city.
The coin is beautifully framed by a sculptural, concentric gold setting, extending into a substantial, elegantly ribbed band. The warm tones of polished yellow gold contrast beautifully with the ancient silver coin, creating a distinctive combination of classical heritage and timeless Italian design.
Designed to be worn by both men and women, the ring's bold yet refined proportions make it a versatile unisex statement piece.
Part of Bulgari's celebrated Monete Collection, this remarkable ring reflects the Maison's fascination with antiquity and its longstanding tradition of incorporating ancient coins into contemporary jewelry.
