This exceptional pendant combines timeless elegance with historical significance. Crafted in sterling silver 925, it frames an authentic 2 mils Palestinian coin, carefully set by Ahmad, a skilled artisan jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City.
The bronze coin, measuring 3 cm in diameter, features on its reverse the word Palestine engraved in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, along with its minting date. The obverse side bears the coin’s value encircled by an olive branch, the enduring emblem of peace and rootedness in Palestinian culture. Each pendant is unique, with variations in the coin’s date, making every piece truly one of a kind.
More than jewelry, this pendant is a tangible fragment of history, a museum-worthy artifact you can wear close to your heart. It stands as undeniable proof of Palestine’s existence prior to 1948, offering both a symbol of resilience and a personal statement of solidarity.
Handcrafted in Jerusalem by Ahmad, this creation is rooted in Palestinian artisanal tradition. The included sterling silver chain perfectly complements the pendant, allowing you to wear this piece of living history with elegance.
The Palestinian pound (جُنَيْه فِلَسْطِينِيّ) was the official currency between 1927 and 1947. Issued by the Palestine Currency Board, it replaced the Ottoman and Egyptian pounds. Today, these coins are rare relics, serving as lasting proof of a Palestine that existed long before the Nakba, preserved in material culture and memory.
Wearing this pendant means honoring Palestine’s history, supporting Palestinian craftsmanship, and carrying a timeless symbol of identity and endurance.

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.
