These two ancient coins are mounted in an
incomparable necklace comprising two 18-karat

strung with four strands of genuine emerald
beads. The gold elements are set with 194
genuine diamonds with a total weight of 7.34

Silver coins of two of history's great monarchs
are at the heart of this magnificent necklace. Its
glowing beauty, its exquisite craftsmanship, and
its rarity would have sparked the admiration of

caused a sensation in the palaces of Alexandria
or the court of Rome, just as it will dazzle

destined for a woman who is equally one-of-a-
kind.
