The image of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, adorns one side of this ancient coin. On the other is a winged thunderbolt. The daughter of Zeus (king of the gods), and twin sister to Apollo (god of the arts), Artemis was famous for the sureness of her aim with bow and arrow. She lived free, roaming the hills and forests with her nymphs. This ring is the ideal jewel for someone who is equally free-spirited and whose aim is always on target.
