I’m endlessly drawn to coins because they’re so much more than currency. The shapes, the graphics, the quiet illustrations. Each one is a small symbol of where it came from, carrying history, identity, and connection.

These pieces are about roots and movement. About places we’ve been, places we still carry with us, and the vastness of our shared history.

Not polished. Not shiny. Not mass produced.

Each piece is one of a kind, chosen for its story.

The earrings shown worn are for scale only and differ from this actual pair.
