Using coins as jewelry, known as Gemme Numari (coin gems or nummary gems) dates back to Ancient Rome. As people traveled around the world, the coins they collected made wonderful souvenirs that they could use to make jewelry. Coin jewelry has served as a talisman to attract abundance and success, and in many cultures, gifting coin jewelry is considered a gesture of good fortune, signifying hopes for a prosperous future.
