Victoria Strigini: Ancient Roman Silver Coin of Faustina, 18k Gold Slice Pendant

About the Item

Victoria Strigini (b. 1991) A contemporary 18k yellow gold pendant necklace featuring a Roman silver coin dating from 161-180 AD, depicting Empress Faustina, wife of Marcus Aurelius. The front of the coin shows a draped bust of Faustina with her hair dressed in a bun, looking to the right. The reverse depicts Concordia, the goddess of marital and societal harmony, seated and looking to the left, holding a flower and resting her left arm on the cornucopia of abundance. The ancient silver coin is set in a striking circular 18k gold modern mount with a thick mirror-polished bezel, sliced to exhibit both sides of the coin. The piece can be worn front or back. Shown with a 16" Omega gold chain; other chains available upon request. Each of the designer's pieces is unique and handcrafted in her Mayfair, London workshop. Victoria Strigini is a French-born, London-based jewelry designer. Her work reimagines Greek and Roman antiquities for the present, setting rare intaglios, cameos, and coins in bold, minimalist mounts with pure and subtle lines. Her jewelry presents striking contrasts while highlighting the timelessness of century-old objects. “Classical gemstones have survived for more than 2,000 years—that alone is magical,” Strigini says. “Imagining all of the hands they've passed through and then owning one of these treasures essentially inserts you into its history. It’s a beautiful, never-ending story.” Strigini’s work resolves contradiction: between the history of the unique artifacts and the modern settings she creates for them. Between the hand-hewn detailing of the carvings, and linear mounts stripped to their essence. Between the emotional underpinnings of the stones and the rigor of their 18k gold frames. With an appreciation for jewelry’s past and an understanding of its future as necessarily sustainable, Strigini reclaims history and embraces eco-responsibility. Fashioned from recycled gemstones and gold by highly skilled London-based artisans, her jewelry harnesses centennial traditions of craftsmanship in service of a strong modern vision, to create responsibly and wear with grace and ease. The daughter of a painter and the granddaughter of a seamstress, Strigini was raised in a tradition of deep female creativity, learning early on the importance of materials, quality, and ingenuity. After studying art history, she received diplomas in Jewelry Design, CAD, and Diamond Grading from the Gemological Institute of America in New York, before returning to London and founding her eponymous line in 2019. Unique piece. Measurements: 24 mm in diameter; 31 mm H, including jump ring; 4 mm border; 3 mm thick. With a 16" Omega Chain. Different chains available on request. Custom jewelry is also available upon request.
