Centuries ago Romans used coinage for decorative jewels because they were fairly easy to obtain as raw material. Now turn-about becomes fair "pay" thanks to jewelry designer Erez Epshtein's Roman bronze coin jewelry collection. The inspiration for the designs came from his father's interest in archaeology and antiquities; he had been collecting coins in Israel and encouraged his son to mount these ancient treasures in jewelry. As no two coins are alike, the pieces themselves are also one of a kind. The 7 1/2" bracelet bears a 3/4" diameter coin charm. Its chunky cable-and-bar-link chain of oxidized sterling silver secures with toggle clasp. Handcrafted in the USA.
