A gold-plated necklace with a Roman coin pendant clasping a white pearl.

This 21 carat gold-plated brass necklace has been cast from an ancient Roman coin. Coins became highly useful in the Roman Empire, not only as a form of currency, but also as a way to reinforce the current emperor’s supremacy and spread important news. The emperor’s face and imagery of great battles or important events would be stamped on the coins ready to enter circulation.

About the brand:

Ottoman Hands was established in 2009 in London by Deniz Gurdal who regularly travels to Turkey to produce a unique collection of handcrafted jewellery. To this end, she works closely with local Turkish gem cutters and artisans who create one-of-a-kind pieces in which the old Ottoman traditions are blended with modern design aesthetics.

Inspired by the extensive collection of Roman coins housed in the British Museum, this necklace will make a beautiful gift for a history lover.
