Mad For Medallions
Gotta get that coin
They say history repeats itself. Dating all the way back to antiquity, this trend may have taken its sweet time to come around again, but coin necklaces are back in a big way. Once reserved as status symbols for moneyed Greco-Romans who were quite literally wearing their wealth, the modern, more egalitarian take on the trend is still rich with symbolism. A new crop of designers consider the coin a blank canvas across which to ascribe—or inscribe—anything you want to keep close to your heart, be it your star sign or your best intentions.
