Ancient Coin Necklace
Handmade 24K ancient coin necklace with sapphire beads. Gold was believed to bring honor and wealth, stabilize emotions, purify the body, and enhance mental capacity. Gold was used in ancient Greece only in temples, graves and jewels and there were no ancient Greek golden coins until the days around 390 BC, when the Greek king Philip II of Macedon minted golden coins. The first golden coins in history were coined by Lydian king Croesus, around 560 BC. In ancient Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures gold coins were worn to symbolize status and wealth. The coin necklaces were found in tombs of kings and queens to symbolize the sun and glory.
