Origin: Israel (Sebastia, Samaria)
Circa: 117 AD to 138 AD
Collection: Roman
Medium: Silver-Bead-Gold
Additional Information: This ancient coin is set in an 18 karat gold pendant and strung in a necklace with genuine aquamarine beads and with a 14 karat gold clasp.
At the height of the Roman Empire, Aquamarine was one of the favorite gems worn by the nobility. Its pale brilliance was compared to the color of sunlight on a calm sea, and it was thought to bring peace and tranquility to the wearer. This exquisite necklace blends the soft glow of aqua with bright gold and a silver coin from Rome’s Golden Age. Such a jewel would have caused a sensation in the palaces of Ancient Rome. It will certainly have the same effect wherever it is worn today. - (FJ.1663)
