Turquoise Howlite Drop Coin
Turquoise Howlite Drop Coin
The base is old coins from the Afghanistan and Pakistan regions – visible crescents, stars, denominations, and inscriptions in Arabic script. The relief is sometimes worn, but in places it is legible, with a natural patina and discoloration from years of use. The surface shows traces of soldering and darker areas of the metal, typical of hand-crafted work.
The central stone is howlite dyed an intense turquoise. Characteristic, irregular veining in graphite and brown runs through the light blue surface, imitating natural turquoise. This is not glass – the stone's structure is mineral, with a distinct, stone-like pattern and subtle differences in tone.
The setting is handcrafted from a brass alloy. The frame around the stone has an irregular, workshop-made character, with visible traces of high temperature. The pendant's loop is solid, often double-grooved or with a simple embossing. The overall design has a raw, ethnic style, without jewelry sterility.
The drop shape gives the pendant a dynamic, slightly elongated character. The bright turquoise shade contrasts strongly with the darkened coin, creating a striking visual effect. Each piece differs in the detail of the relief and the veining of the stone. The price is for one random pendant from the presented batch.
