Description
A two-piece setup that turns any Aurora Antiqua coin into a wearable pendant. Hand-finished in Belgium from 925 sterling silver. The four-prong mount holds the coin securely around the rim, with no drilling, no glue, and no damage to the original artefact.
What is in the setup
- Four-prong mount: a sterling silver circular frame with four short prongs that close around the coin's edge. Custom-fitted to the diameter of your selected coin.
- 925 sterling silver chain: handmade, 50 cm by default. Other lengths (45 / 55 / 60 cm) on request, free of charge.
Non-destructive by design
Drilling a hole through an ancient coin destroys most of its collector value, and historically, most of its emotional value too. The four-prong mount avoids that completely. The prongs grip the coin's rim by tension, the same principle used in fine jewellery to set unmounted gemstones. The coin can be removed in seconds and returned to a collection tray with no trace, no scratch, no modification.
For your specific coin
Every coin we list has a measured diameter (typically 16-30 mm). We fit the mount to your selected coin before shipping, so the prongs sit flush against the rim and the coin sits centred in the frame. If you own multiple Aurora coins of similar diameter, the mount fits all of them and can be swapped between coins.
