Coin necklaces have been worn throughout history all over the world to bring good fortune to the wearer. In ancient times, people wore silver or gold irregular stamped coins with meaningful symbols.  Kalista Necklace showcases a pair of look-alike Ancient Greek coins, meticulously beveled with seed beads and edged with small pearls.  The bezel imitates the gold or silver granule work popular in the Classical Greek era.  A triangle and a circle frame have been added to the pendant as a nod to the valuable contributions to geometry made by the ancient Greeks.  The pendant hangs from a simple, Hubble-stitched strap and is finished with a  clasp.  To make it more fun, both sides of the coin show different images.  Choose which side to wear according to the mood of the day.  Coin necklaces are back in fashion, why not make one or more for yourself?  This classic necklace will be a great addition to your jewel box!
