  • Photo of the back.  I love looking at the back on these pieces, as you can see the spiderweb fineness of the filigree clearly.

  • Fantastic craft of filigree.  Very nice piece Lynn, thanks for posting it

  • Beautiful pendant Lynn. I just love it when coins are used in jewelry, it tells us a lot. Do you happen to know anything about the coin? I tried figuring out where its from but couldnt.Br

  • Dear Lynn; This is indeed a lovely piece. Very similar to the ones from Bulgaria. With kind regards. Peter

  • Thank you Mustafa, Sami, and Peter.  Sami, I believe this is a 20 kreuzer coin of Ferdinand I of Austria.  I also love it when coins are used in jewelry. 

  • Hi ! Would you consider selling this piece ?
