  • this is great piece preethi

  • A reference photo from Oppi Untracht's book on a similar piece is below. Also below is a photo of coins, one with an image of Edward VII, followed by a photo of the coins in my necklace which are quite worn. But doesn't the silhouette look suspiciously like Edward's?

  • Thank you for all the photos, this makes it much easier and also joyful to see and admire! Beautiful necklace, and beautiful photos!!!! Love coin jewellery!

  • Preethi,

    I think you have solved the puzzle as to the origin of your necklace!  Congratulations.  

    I am sending another comment to your inbox.  Thanks for sharing the photos that show a Northern/Western European man in profile on the coins.
