Description
This ancient coin is set in a pendant of 18 karat gold and strung in a necklace of genuine carved peridot beads, with an 18 karat gold clasp.

The hand of nature and that of man have worked together to create a sensational jewel. At its heart is an imperial Sestertius, minted at the peak of the Roman Empire. The passage of centuries has patinated this coin to a rich green hue, which perfectly expresses the melancholic grandeur of a vanished world. The aged bronze is complimented by the rich green of peridot. This gemstone was beloved of the Romans, and it is easy to see why: its beauty is classic. The woman who wears this necklace is certain to be a classic in her own right.
