These earrings are more than accessories: they are crafted from authentic Palestinian coins, carefully transformed by Ahmad, a master jeweler from Jerusalem. Each coin carries the memory of a time when Palestine had its own currency and identity, before 1948.
Ahmad, inheriting a craft passed down through generations, hand-makes each piece in his workshop hidden within the alleys of the Old City. Every pair is therefore unique, slightly different in its details, and a true testament to authentic artisanal work.
Wearing these earrings means carrying tangible proof of Palestine’s existence before 1948. The trilingual inscriptions in Arabic, Hebrew, and English recall the layered history of the land, making this jewel both rare and deeply meaningful.
Like any collector’s item, these earrings grow in value over time. They become more than jewelry: an heirloom, a preserved trace of history, and a symbol of resistance against erasure.

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.
