Money Talks — Coin Jewelry Becomes The Latest Gypsy-Flavored Style Trend
Time to rake in some coin — literally! Gold, brass, and silver-toned coins are popping up on necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, lending these pieces a gypsy chic vibe. Some pieces mimic the look of ancient Roman or Grecian currency — the portrait-driven, emperor-adulating design of the sestertius, denarius and dupondius coins — while others derive inspiration from the piastres that were circulated throughout the Ottoman empire, from Turkey to Egypt, until the early 19th century; or from the technically astounding look of the tetradrachm coins minted during Greece’s Classical and Hellenistic periods, which typically featured portraits of deities, mythical heroes, chariots, and spiritual or patriotic symbols (from apples to celery stalks, roses, pegasus, and minotaurs). Some simply take the round shape associated with coinage from all over the world and reinvent these shiny spheres with original inscriptions, embossed patterns, and etched details.
Whether dangling from hoop frames, clustered together, or paired with beads and pearls, these coin-touting jewelry pieces will give a nice jingle to your Bohemian-flavored ensemble. Let’s get minted!
