Ancient Coin Pendant – One of a Kind – Handmade Sterling Silver 925 – Real Ancient Coin

A sculptural sterling silver pendant hand carved in wax and cast using the traditional lost wax technique. Designed as a bespoke setting for a genuine ancient coin, the piece transforms historical currency into a contemporary wearable artefact. The silver frame is individually formed to cradle the coin precisely, combining hammered texture with oxidised recesses and polished highlights to emphasise contrast, depth, and the worn character of time.

Suspended from a rigid cable necklace, the composition sits close to the collarbone, balancing modern minimalism with an object of genuine antiquity at its centre.

A dialogue between past and present — where an ancient coin is no longer currency but witness. The setting does not imitate history; it responds to it, giving the object a new structural language while preserving its original presence and wear.

Maker’s Note

“There’s something extraordinary about holding a coin that was made thousands of years ago — the idea that someone carried it, spent it, lost it. Setting it in silver felt like giving it a new life. A way to carry history with you.”
