Small coin with lapis lazuli – round shape

The base is made of small coins from the Afghanistan and Pakistan regions – visible stars, crescents, and inscriptions in the Arabic alphabet. The relief can be more or less worn, a natural effect of circulation. On some pieces, the denomination numerals and fragments of a floral wreath are still legible. The surface has a patina and discoloration characteristic of older nickel alloys.

The central lapis lazuli is in the form of a regular circle. The stone is natural – its color ranges from deep garnet to cobalt with lighter, milky streaks. Small, golden pyrite dots are visible in the structure, which delicately shimmer in the light. The cut is straight, without a jeweler's sterility, preserving the raw character of the material.

The setting is handcrafted from a brass alloy. The frame is soldered directly to the coin, with visible traces of work and local darkening caused by high temperatures. The pendant's earring has a simple, grooved design, firmly embedded in the disc. The whole thing doesn't pretend to be factory-made—it's a borderline craftsmanship, with a distinct, workshop-style style.

The small size makes the pendants more subtle than larger variants, but the intense color of the stone is eye-catching. Each piece differs in the tone of the lapis lazuli and the detail of the coin's relief. The price is for one random pendant from the presented batch.
