Crafted with Love
We handcrafted this jewelry using genuine coins that were minted. Each coin bears the gentle marks of time - minimal scratches and scars acquired over the years as they journeyed from hand to hand. These beautiful traces of history only enhance the character of each piece, celebrating its uniqueness.
Our goal was to breathe new life into coins that have languished in forgotten drawers, losing their purpose as currency. By treating each coin as a work of art, we carefully selected details and jewelry elements that showcase their authenticity and beauty.
It's important to note that each coin features a unique year, symbolizing its individual history. You have the option to personalize the selection by choosing a year that holds significance for you.
Author's Notes
The five-yen coin, or "go-en dama," carries a special meaning of fate and chance. People in Japan often bring five-yen coins to Shinto shrines to build a good relationship with the deities, and it’s common to place one in a new wallet before adding any other money.The charm of the five-yen coin lies in its name: "go-EN." The number 5 means "go" in Japanese, and "yen" sounds like "en." More importantly, "go-EN" means "honorable success," especially in relationships. People toss these coins into temples, hoping to attract new connections—fortune, friendship, or love.Additionally, five-yen coins are often given as "good luck" gifts during the Japanese New Year. For all these reasons, I designed this piece of jewelry to rest near the wearer’s solar plexus, deepening the connection to the coin and its powerful energies.
