Work with us to create a one-of-a-kind piece from an authentic ancient coin, set by hand in gold or silver. Most custom pieces range from $400–$1,200 in silver and $800–$3,000+ in gold, depending on the coin.
From a silver coin that may have paid for admission to a Shakespeare play in 1604, to sea glass shaped by the ocean, to ancient Egyptian symbols like the falcon and the Eye of Horus, each piece begins with something that already has a story.

Thank you for making this spectacular necklace! I provided the denarius of Julia Domna, and they did the rest. I was delighted with the results - and so (more importantly) was my girlfriend.

The Athenian Owl pendants are awesome! We're saving the gift for a special occasion. My wife loved it, she got it and was all hushed quiet, that smile while opening and handling it for the first few minutes. It's special.
