One-of-a-Kind Antiquities Earrings with a Roman Coin
E-U24561-CN
Gurhan is an avid collector of antiquities and antiques: roman coins, byzantine crosses, lava cameos, micro mosaics, viking bronzes and Japanese satsumas are among the many items transforms into jewelry.
"Collecting remnants of the past and recreating their future has been an obsession for me since my earliest days as a goldsmith. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to capture a piece of history and imagine the past lives that were touched by it. To then give that object a new life as jewelry is my way of honoring the past."

Pure gold is a soft, malleable metal and so Just like the ancient goldsmiths who used grains, sand and wood to provide structural integrity to their pieces, Gurhan uses today's versions of these substances to enable the hollow forms, like balls and lentils, ring shanks and large links, to retain their intended shapes. If a piece is made with either air or an organic filler inside, we denote it as “hollow“ so that you always know what you are buying. See our Quality Standards.
