This necklace is typically given as a gift at celebrations in Turkey, such as weddings and circumcisions. It traditionally consists of either five gold coins or a single coin worth five. In some regions of Anatolia the coins are still used as tender today. This new interpretation of the “Five in One” concept merges the two original shapes. The five pieces made of 24-carat fine gold can be sold or given as a gift separately.

This necklace tells a story of the ancient customs of bartering and translates this idea into a piece of jewellery of simple beauty.
