It is not uncommon to hear someone say that one of the most unique mementos from any travel experience is something as basic as a coin. No sooner do these small metal pieces leave their country of origin, they become relics of experience, transforming from their intended value to sentimental value. Designer Ana-Katarina knows this first-hand.
When she received a Byzantine coin as a gift earlier this year, it already had tremendous sentimental meaning; representing the history and culture of a region dear to her, along with a special relationship with the man who gifted the coin to her. Rather than tucking it away somewhere, Ana-Katarina enveloped the ancient coin in 18k rose gold and created a beautiful pendant, a truly priceless possession that has become a statement piece unto itself for Ana-Katarina.
