About the Item
We purchased this ancient coin from a coin dealer in Tucson, Arizona at the gem show—loving the silhouette of the high priestess holding a staff. We still love the images on the coin and its organic, asymmetrical shape, so we added a 14k gold mount to turn it into a beautiful pendant. The coin is made of bronze and has a wonderful patina that colors it various shades of brown. On the front is what appears to be a priest or priestess, standing in front of symbols that suggest religious connotations or ceremonies . On the back is a letter, perhaps a variation of a Greek letter, though we weren’t able to identify it. We believe this unique coin is at least 1,200 years old.
The 14k gold mount brings additional beauty to the coin. It has a hand hammered texture on the front, complimenting the ancient, organic feel of the coin. The back reveals four prongs that hold the coin in place.
The pendant is 3/4” x 7/8” with a 5.4 x 8.6 mm bail. It weighs 6.7 grams. The gold is unmarked but acid tests as 14k.

14K Gold Signature Classical Revival Cupid Medallion
Located in Venice, CA
Created as part of our signature collection, this 14k gold intaglio medallion depicts Cupid seated on top of a bow quiver. Cupid, the god of love and attraction, draws his arrow, ready to strike an unsuspecting victim with the power of love. Beneath him are rolling clouds that Cupid rides, as if on a ship. The image is outlined with a border of three lines to complete the beautiful image.
Using a rare bronze intaglio from the late 1700’s, we created a mold and cast the pendant in gold. We hand-carved depth into the mold so that the details would pop on the contemporary medallion as beautifully as they do on the original antique intaglio, and then lovingly added a gentle patina by hand to the finished piece.
The intaglio used as a mold for this medallion is attributed to the James Tassie workshop, circa the late 18th century. Born in 1735, Tassie was a Scottish stonemason who invented a glassy white paste perfect for replicating gemstones. Tassie was commissioned across Europe, first by Catherine the Great of Russia, then by the Wedgwood factory, to create imitation gemstones and elaborately carved intaglios. In 1773, most of the infamous blue and white cameos in the Wedgwood catalogue were cast from molds made by Tassie. The artist left behind a collection of over 15,800 intricate pieces of artwork. Many of Tassie’s intaglios...
