Lapis lazuli coin – small teardrop

The base is made up of small coins from South Asia and the Middle East – visible crescents, stars, floral wreaths, and inscriptions in Arabic or Urdu. The relief can be distinct or partially worn, indicating genuine circulation. The edge retains a delicate serration, and the surface is covered with a natural patina and local discoloration from soldering.

The central element is a natural teardrop-shaped lapis lazuli. The stone has a deep, cobalt-blue color with subtle, lighter streaks and small mineral inclusions. Some pieces may contain golden-hued pyrite dots – typical of genuine lapis. The surface is polished, but not sterilely perfect – it preserves the natural character of the mineral.

The setting is made of a brass alloy. The frame around the stone is hand-formed, with visible traces of soldering and darkening of the metal. The pendant's earring has a simple, grooved or smooth form, securely soldered to the coin. The overall design has a raw, handcrafted character.

These small but expressive pendants combine the symbolism of a coin with the intense color of the natural stone. Each piece differs in the detail of the relief and the tone of the lapis lazuli. The price is for one random pendant from the batch.
