Rooted in mythology and history, our Ancient Greek Bee Coin Pendant Necklace is a timeless piece inspired by the ancient Greek coins of Ephesus, a city once devoted to the Greek goddess Artemis.
Handcrafted in Athens, Greece from radiant gold-plated brass, the double-sided pendant features a replica of an ancient Greek coin with a bee, blending ancient symbolism with contemporary style on a vintage-inspired chain.
In ancient Greek culture, the bee was a sacred symbol of life, health, community, and the soul. Bees were especially revered in Ephesus, where they were closely associated with Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, nature, and protector of women. Priestesses of her temple were often referred to as “melissae,” meaning bees in Greek—honoring the bee as a symbol of divine connection and spiritual power.
Wearing this necklace is not only a nod to classical antiquity but also a way to channel the strength, harmony, and transformation the bee represents. Whether worn alone or layered, the Ancient Greek Bee Necklace adds rich meaning to any look.
