1921 Bee Coin Necklace - Antique

1921 Italian Bee Coin Pendant and Rose Gold Necklace

Struck in post-war Italy, this 10 centesimi coin bears the image of a honeybee — chosen as a national symbol of industry, unity, and hope.
One hundred years later, it has been transformed into a pendant of quiet resilience and remembrance.
Soldered with rose gold and suspended on a warm, textured chain, this piece carries echoes of history and the enduring beauty of nature.

A century-old whisper, captured in copper and rose gold.
This necklace features an original 1921 Italian 10 centesimi coin, with the iconic bee motif — a symbol of resilience, prosperity and the sacred feminine. Lovingly transformed into a pendant with a hand-soldered rose gold vermeil bail, it hangs from a delicately shimmering popcorn chain.

Designed for the wild-hearted, the nostalgic, and those who honour meaning in every detail.
Wear it layered or alone — a talisman of quiet strength, rooted in story.
