This pendant comes from an authentic Palestinian 5 Mils coin, minted between 1927 and 1947. Ahmad, a Palestinian jeweler from the Old City of Jerusalem, handcrafts each piece with care. As a result, you wear a rare jewel that unites elegance with history.
The coin measures 2 cm in diameter and comes in silver or bronze. It carries the inscriptions “Palestine” in Arabic, English, and Hebrew. Its minting date varies between 1927 and 1947, which further enhances its authenticity. On the front, an olive branch recalls peace, identity, and Palestinian resistance. The setting, available in sterling silver 925 or gold plating, elevates this fragment of history into a refined piece of jewelry.
Ahmad shapes every pendant by hand. He preserves the integrity of the coin and reveals its natural beauty. This craftsmanship is more than technique. In fact, it embodies memory and cultural resistance. Wearing this jewel shows that Palestine, before 1948, was never a land without people.
Each pendant comes with a sterling silver chain. Because Ahmad works each coin individually, slight variations appear from one pendant to another. These details guarantee full authenticity and confirm the uniqueness of your piece. Such jewels remain rare and hold immeasurable symbolic value. They belong to the category of items often found only in private collections or museums.
This pendant goes beyond decoration. It also represents a cultural and patrimonial investment. Its rarity and historical depth increase its value over time. By wearing it, you display not only refined elegance but also a strong symbol of identity.
By choosing this pendant, you support a Palestinian artisan and help preserve a precious craft. You affirm your connection to Palestinian memory and pass on a living heritage. This jewel, elegant, rare, and meaningful, connects past and present. Ultimately, it becomes both a declaration of identity and undeniable proof of Palestine’s enduring history.

Ahmad is a third-generation jeweler, continuing his family's legacy in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, where he runs his own workshop. A true artisan and artist, he handcrafts each piece of jewelry from start to finish with exceptional care and precision.
Specializing in gold and silver, Ahmad is particularly passionate about antique Palestinian coins, which he transforms into unique, history-infused jewelry pieces. He also offers customizable designs and a refined collection of Roman glass jewelry, made from nearly 2,000-year-old fragments found in Palestine.
Since October 7, 2023, Ahmad—like many Palestinian artisans in Jerusalem—has faced a devastating situation. With the disappearance of tourism and the closure of most shops in the Old City, he has been unable to sell his work. On top of this, he faces regular harassment from the Israeli police due to his creations rooted in Palestinian heritage.
Now 35 years old and the father of three children, Ahmad continues to create with passion and resilience, driven by his love for his craft, the memory of his land, and the vital support of people like you.
