Hi guys,
I have always loved
rings with ancient coin motifs on them. Many years ago I
had a gold ring with a reproduction of a
Thasos drachm but I sold it later on. I always regretted that so some years ago I set upon creating my old coin ring design. You can see the photos with the result. The ring is made of 14 k white and yellow gold, 14.72 gr.
weight (about half an ounce).
And to get to the answers of the anticipated questions in advance:
1. Yes, it is an original
Neapolis hemidrachm2. No, I did not kill an
intact coin. I would never do that. The coin was pierced with a hole of about 2 mm to be worn as a necklace and looked quite ugly. It was then expertly repaired and mounted in the ring.
The ring is heavy but quite comfortable to wear.
Hope you like the design.
OK, I showed you my coin ring - show me yours!
Cheers,
Opti
