A unique set of jewellery: A 10 K yellow gold bracelet, earrings (tests 14 K) and ring set with AMMONITE polished
sections, from the renowned Hallstatt Horizon (now depleted), Theokafta, near the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, Greece. Of Anisian-Landinian, Middle Triassic age (appr. 240 million years old). In their original wooden
presentation box. Bracelet width: 24 mm, earrings drop, 42 mm, ring size: L, total weight: 43.6 g.
In the early 60s a small quarry appeared near the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, Greece. The operations exposed a
small layer (appr. 1.3 m thick) rich in Ammonites, the Hallstatt Horizon). Unfortunately, the frequent use of dynamite created cracks in the nearby antiquities and all works ceased after just a few years of operation.
