This 1980 Bulgari Monete Ancient Coin Gold Cuff Bracelet is a striking combination of fine craftsmanship and historical significance. Made from 18k white and yellow gold, the bracelet features a genuine ancient Greek silver coin from 5th century B.C. Attica, Athens. The coin's obverse showcases the profile of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, wearing a crested helmet. The reverse side displays an owl, a symbol of knowledge, along with the Greek letters "ΑΘΕ" (AOE), denoting Athens.
The bracelet’s band is meticulously designed with alternating white and yellow gold segments, creating a bold yet elegant pattern. Fully hallmarked with "Bulgari," "750," and a serial number, it measures 7 3/4" in inner circumference with a width of 3/4". The coin itself is 1" in diameter. Weighing 120 grams, the cuff has a 1/2" resting opening that expands to 1 1/4" for wear. This unique piece blends luxury with history, making it both a collector's item and a wearable artifact of the ancient world.
