Ancient coins
The ancient jewelries are revived by the Israeli craftsmen to give new look and bring novelty to the existing pattern.
The coins that are used in the jewelries are authentic ancient coins dating back to almost 2000 years in Jewish history. The oldest among them are from the Hasmonian period when king Alexander Jannaeus ruled (103-76 BC). This was also the period when the whole area where Israel is today was ruled by the Greeks. Thus the coins of this period have strong Greek influence even though they are Jewish.
The most recent coins to be used in the jewelry are from 2nd century CE. These coins have Hebrew writings on them. the one that is worth mentioning is a coin which has Shimon written on one side which was the name of a rebellious leader and on the other side it was ” For the Freedom of Jerusalem” from the Roman rule. These coins have strong Roman influence.

The Israeli craftsmen today are incorporating these coins into pieces of jewelry which are extremely attractive. You will find beautiful pieces for women like gold Hamsa pendant with authentic Masada coin. The same Masada coin can be set in a 14k gold pendant which will compliment any outfit.
For men’s jewelry ancient coin cufflinks are very popular. The cufflinks are fashioned out of both gold and silver set with Mesada coins or Maccabean coins or King Agrippa coins. You may find cufflinks in silver coin which are not set in anything but the coin itself represents the cufflink.
