We created this unique Lysimachus pendant in commemoration of Alexander the Great, as Lysimachus was one of his educators. Lysimachus was also the bodyguard of Alexander the Great, and after his death, he became his heir and the king of Thrace, Macedonia and a part of Asia Minor.
Approximately on 294 to 287 BC he minted a coin, among many others, most likely at the Ephesus Mint. This coin bore the head of the deified Alexander the Great and the horn of Amun on the obverse side, and on the reverse side the Victorious Pallas Athena seated, resting on her shield, with the winged Goddess Nike in her hands along with a spear and a bee. The Greek coins are important because they give a complete picture of the evolution of plastic art in the country. In the Greek cities of Italy and Sicily in particular, the art of coinage developed rapidly as early as the 5th century BC. During the 4th century BC, with live presentations and a wide variety of forms, this art reached almost to its perfection.Returns Policy

Care Instructions for Silver 925° Jewelry
Silver jewelry tends to lose its original shine with daily use, whether from exposure to water or sunlight. Don't worry — this is completely normal. Simply follow the instructions below to make your jewelry shine again.
Care Instructions for Gold-Plated Silver 925° Jewelry
Gold-plated jewelry is elegant, but the gold finish is not permanent.
All jewelry that has a plating layer over the base metal does not have long-lasting durability. Over time, the gold plating will wear off, revealing the base material. A gold-plated 925 sterling silver jewel will return to its original silver color after exposure to water, perfumes, or daily wear.
To keep the shine longer:
- Avoid water.
- Avoid perfumes & chemicals.
- Store in the velvet Artpoint Papasotiriou pouch.
Even pure 925 silver may lose brightness but can be easily polished.

Πληροφορίες για Επιχρυσωμένα Κοσμήματα
Τα επιχρυσωμένα κοσμήματα είναι κομψά, αλλά η χρυσή επίστρωση δεν είναι μόνιμη.
Όλα τα κοσμήματα που φέρουν επίστρωση πάνω στο βασικό μέταλλο δεν έχουν μακροχρόνια αντοχή. Με την πάροδο του χρόνου, η επίστρωση χρυσού φθείρεται και αποκαλύπτεται το βασικό μέταλλο. Ένα επιχρυσωμένο ασήμι 925, με έκθεση είτε σε νερό είτε σε αρώματα και σε καθημερινή χρήση, επανέρχεται στο αρχικό ασημί χρώμα.
Για μεγαλύτερη διάρκεια:
- Αποφύγετε νερό,
- αρώματα & χημικά και
- φυλάξτε το κόσμημα στη βελούδινη θήκη Artpoint Papasotiriou που σας δόθηκε κατά την αγορά.
