Craftsmanship Details
Precision die-striking for the coin faces; hand-assembled jump-ring connections; high-quality soldering on the decorative frames.
Authentication Indicators
Saturated yellow color indicates high karatage; visible die-strike details on 'coins' are sharp; weight-to-volume ratio appears consistent with solid gold.

Era & Period
Contemporary (2000s-present) referencing traditional Ottoman-style 'Reşat' or 'Ziynet' coin jewelry aesthetics.

Condition Notes
Very Good; displays light surface micro-scratches from wearing, common in 21K gold which is softer than 14K or 18K. No visible structural bending.
Value Estimate
Primarily driven by melt value (approx. 87.5% weight) plus a 15-25% craftsmanship premium in retail markets.
Care & Maintenance
