This striking faux-coin pendant necklace features a beautifully detailed classical profile medallion suspended from a richly textured gold-tone mesh chain. The pendant has the bold, sculptural look inspired by ancient Roman and Greek coinage, a style that surged in popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s when designers embraced opulent, gilded motifs.
The chain is substantial yet flexible, with a smooth woven texture and a decorative hook-style closure that adds an extra element of vintage sophistication. The overall effect is elegant, polished, and unmistakably classic.
