Centuries ago, this bronze coin was passed hand-to-hand among the citizens of Ancient Israel. Though the world was a very different place then, the essentials of human existence-- the emotions, the passions, and the dreams-- have changed remarkably little. The spirit of mankind continues to triumph over all obstacles. This splendid pendant celebrates life. To wear it is to affirm our own faith in the lessons of the past and our hope for a joyous future.
