Orient Coin with Lapis mix
The metal disc shows clear signs of use – abrasions, patina, minor irregularities. The reliefs and ornaments are not perfectly legible, but that's precisely where their strength lies. This is not a new replica, but an authentic piece with a history that has been given a second life as a pendant.
The lapis lazuli is set centrally, in an elongated almond or triangular shape – depending on the piece. The stone has a deep, saturated shade of blue, in places fading to a cooler tone. Natural veining and subtle color variations are visible in the structure, confirming its mineral origin.
The brass lugs are soldered directly to the coin's surface. Some pieces feature double lugs, allowing the pendant to be incorporated into more elaborate compositions – tribal necklaces, belts, or choker elements. Traces of soldering are visible and undisguised, emphasizing the craftsmanship of the piece.
Each piece differs in detail: the relief pattern, the shape of the stone, and the tone of the patina. This is a heavier, expressive pendant for those looking not for smooth salon jewelry, but for an item with texture, history, and character.
