Step into the grandeur of the Byzantine Empire with this striking necklace inspired by the solidus of Justinian I, one of history’s most powerful rulers and the emperor behind the construction of Hagia Sophia.
 
The obverse features a frontal portrait of the emperor wearing a crown and ceremonial armor — symbolizing imperial authority and divine rule.
The reverse depicts Victory holding a cross, alongside a large cross and the mint mark “CONOB,” representing Constantinople’s imperial mint.
 
This piece is a museum-style replica, handcrafted in 925 sterling silver and optionally finished with gold plating — offering the look of ancient coins without using solid gold.
