Large lapis lazuli triangle coin

The base of each pendant is an authentic coin disc with a distinct relief – visible mosques, wreaths, crescents, and inscriptions in the Arabic alphabet. The metal shows signs of time: abrasions, darkening, localized tarnish, and traces of hand soldering. This is not factory-made jewelry, but rather craftsmanship with a distinctly raw character.

The central stone is a natural lapis lazuli with a deep, cobalt-blue color. The structure features tiny golden pyrite inclusions and lighter, irregular tonal transitions. Each triangle has a different pattern – from a uniform garnet to a more diverse, almost cosmic mosaic.

The triangular shape gives the piece a strong, symbolic form. The stone is set in a simple brass frame soldered directly to the coin's surface. The lugs can be smooth or delicately embossed, massive, and clearly visible. The construction is solid, and the whole thing has a noticeable weight.

The cool silver metal and the intense blue of the lapis create a contrast that catches the eye from a distance. Each piece differs in the detail of the coin and the structure of the stone. The price is for one random pendant from the presented lot.
