This pendant sets a bronze sestertius of Empress Faustina I and was minted in Rome between 138 and 141 AD. Faustina I was a cultured and intelligent woman who was highly regarded by her husband, Emperor Antoninus Pius, and often consulted on state matters. She was a revered empress, beloved by the people for her social initiatives, such as the creation of a school for girls.
The coin shows the profile of the empress on one side and on the other the goddess Vesta appears with a torch and a palladium.

Owning an antique, an object that is part of history, creates a special feeling: we wonder who it might have belonged to, what times its first owner lived in, and what their life was like.
The Antiques Collection is composed of genuine antiques for which we design gold settings, transforming them into unique and exclusive pieces of jewelry without altering them: no two are ever alike.
In addition to their beauty and historical significance, both the antique item and the gold will appreciate in value over time. Most importantly, this jewel will become part of your own story forever.
