14K Gold Necklace with Antonius Felix Ancient Coin and Diamond 0.02ct

Antonlus Fellx

Antonius Felix's reign (52-60 AD.) was known as unpeaceful, he ordered the violent and murderous repression of any possible rebellion. One side of the coin shows a palm tree which is a Jewish symbol, that is probably indicative of his desire to maintain the trust of the local population. The other side is unusual for a coin struck in Judea. Depicting a Roman shield, it was probably intended as a demonstration of the unchallenged power and control of Rome.

Over hundreds of years, throughout the different periods in the Land of Israel, metallic coins were struck by the various rulers and served as circulation coins.
These ancient coins have been unearthed during archaeological excavations in Israel and dated to around 3,000 years or more ago.
The ancient coins mounted in our jewelry, as well as those actually sold as ancient coins, were found in archaeological diggings in Israel and are sold by license granted by the Israel Antiquities Authority to Israel Coins and Medals Corp., in the G.R.A.S group.

Exposing the coins to water (showering, bathing in the sea, pool, high body acidity) will cause tarnishing and loss of their natural patina. Details on the coins are also liable to be rubbed away by water and a damaged coin cannot be restored or repaired.
Our Ancient Coin Jewelry has been meticulously designed and handcrafted. Each piece is absolutely unique for no one coin is exactly the same as another. Each jewelry piece deserves special attention and special care when worn.
