Silver Necklace with Agrippa Ancient Coin

Herod Agrippa the First

Herod Agrippa, the grandson of Herod | grew up in the courtly circles in Rome. When he came to the throne in Judaea he applied the lessons in political expediency learnt in Rome, striking coins for his gentile subjects with portraits and a single coin for his Jewish subjects depicting three sheaves of barley and a royal canopy.
The canopy was a symbol of royal rank. The Bible relates that King Solomon built himself a canopy.

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.
