It is the second-largest Greek island after Crete and is known today as Evia (or Évvoia). The island of Euboea grew into a major economic and commercial hub, reflected by the massive output of these silver fractions like these. Commonly referred to as tetrobols (equal to 4 obols or 2\/3 of a drachma), they could buy everyday goods like several litres of wine or multiple loaves of bread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eThese earrings are paired with unique, blush-pink Spinel set in shiny 14k gold bezels.  The 14k gold wire allows the charm to dangle gently when worn and are lightweight and comfortable for every-day wear.  Certain to be a conversation piece!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eApprox. 12mm diameter each\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eOverall wire length 1.25\" inches (33mm long)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e2.5mm Imperial Spinel (Burma - Mogok Valley Myanmar)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eCertificate of Authenticity provided\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eProcured and hand fabricated with 14k gold by Cynthia Green, making each a one-of-a-kind keepsake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee my \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ioniajewelry.com\/pages\/ancient-coin-jewelry-guide\" title=\"Ancient Coin Jewelry Guide\"\u003eAncient Coin Jewelry Guide\u003c\/a\u003e to learn more about ancient coins!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003eAR36\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ionia Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50403170451713,"sku":"AR36","price":1431.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/7918\/7457\/files\/DSC_7429.jpg?v=1791152488","url":"https:\/\/ioniajewelry.com\/products\/greek-coin-earrings-with-pink-sapphires-267-146-bce","provider":"Ionia Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
