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.

Authors notes
Marianne
This jewelry piece and the symbolism on the coin primarily represent peace, freedom, and harmony. I was looking for a coin that embodies the desire to feel safe in troubled times. This French coin reveals and gives meaning to this piece of jewelry, as Marianne symbolizes the enduring spirit of freedom, while the ear of wheat represents abundance, and the olive branch symbolizes peace and harmony. This piece of jewelry supports all those who find this stage difficult and those who wish to believe that humanity can find a path to peace in the world without infringing on the freedom of others.
