The Goddess
Bracelet
Mystique of the Feminine Divine
Seven goddesses of ancient Greece. Faces of serenity gazing across
the centuries, looking to modern woman. Each a classic beauty: strong,
powerful, confident. Each goddess affirming by her own individual
personality, an aspect of woman's nature and the source of her power.
The Goddess Bracelet is affirmation, support, and unity for the Divine
Mystique expressed in feminine form.
History: Authentic 2,300 year-old ancient
Greek coins were used as masters. Only the best coins available were
chosen for these 14K yellow gold reproductions. Detail on the Hera coin
is a little weak, all other coins are crisp and clear.
