This pendant combines an authentic Palestinian coin with the shape of a key in sterling silver 925. Entirely handmade by Ahmad, a Palestinian jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City (Al Quds), it blends history and craftsmanship.
The key is one of the strongest symbols of Palestinian memory. It embodies the right of return of families expelled since 1948, who still keep their house keys as symbols of belonging and hope. This pendant turns that memory into a jewel of heritage and resistance.
Each pendant comes with a free sterling silver chain. As every handmade creation, it may slightly differ from the pictures. The coin’s minting date may also vary, making each piece truly unique.
Wearing this pendant means carrying not only an elegant and original jewel, but also a fragment of Palestinian history. Over time, these coins increase in value. They stand as both an investment and a material proof of Palestine’s existence before 1948.
The Palestine pound (جُنَيْه فِلَسْطَينِيّ) was the official currency between 1927 and 1947. It replaced the Ottoman pound after 1917 and the Egyptian pound. Issued by the Palestine Currency Board, coins and notes carried inscriptions in Arabic, English, and Hebrew. Coins were minted until 1947, although those from that year never circulated, while banknotes stopped being issued in 1945.

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.
