<p>[QUOTE="Volodya, post: 2765410, member: 19615"]It's absolutely true that a lot of coins, ancient and modern, have been damaged by their use in jewelry, some slightly, some substantially. Unlike many here though, I have no objection on principle to using genuine ancient coins that way. It needs to be done very carefully by someone who knows exactly what they're doing. I make no apologies at all for designing this pendant for my wife and commissioning its manufacture. Anyone interested in the genesis of this piece can read more about it here: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-nymphaeum-the-nymphaeum-the-nymphaeum-is-on-fire.272860/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-nymphaeum-the-nymphaeum-the-nymphaeum-is-on-fire.272860/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-nymphaeum-the-nymphaeum-the-nymphaeum-is-on-fire.272860/</a>. And for the record, if a future owner opts to remove the coin from the pendant, my ghost will be sad about it, but I absolutely guarantee that the coin's jewelry history will be undetectable to even the closest, most minute examination. This coin hasn't been damaged or changed <b>at all</b>. </p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]636538[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
