Middle Eastern coin with faceted glass
Middle Eastern coin with faceted glass
The pendant is based on an original coin disc with Arabic inscriptions and floral motifs. The relief is legible, though worn away in places by time. The metal surface retains its natural patina, minor abrasions, and traces of hand soldering – without polishing or imitating jewelry from a jewelry store.
The central element is a square, faceted glass in a deep red shade. The cut creates distinct refractions of light, giving the surface a subtle shimmer and depth. This is glass, not stone – a material that is visually lighter, but vibrant in color and very characteristic of tribal jewelry from the region.
The setting is made of a brass alloy soldered directly to the coin's surface. The edges are slightly irregular, with visible traces of handwork. The pendant's earring is solid, double, and has a simple, functional shape.
The combination of cool silver metal with the warm, dark red glass creates a striking contrast. Each piece differs in the coin's detail and facet arrangement. The price is for one random pendant from the presented lot.
