Damage : Age appropriate wear. There are some paste stones missing from the die charm, your local jeweler can replace them or remove the charm if desired. This beautiful piece was made during a period called the Art Nouveau Era! This time was also called “La Belle Epoque” in French, which translates to A Beautiful Time. This was very true due to the gorgeous designs that came out of this period. The Art Nouveau period was famous for its flowing organic designs, flowing ladies, flowing floral designs, and regal designs. The chasing technique is a very difficult silversmith process when the artist uses a nail-like tool and hammer to hand etch patterns within the metal work. This process was very difficult and only the best jewelers were trained in the process. Coin jewelry has been in existence since coins were invented as a form of national currency. Many cultures from around the world would make coin jewelry as a means to store or display wealth. Coins also served as a souvenir for travelers to bring home after their excursions, and have made into wearable mementos of their trips, or as symbols of national pride.
