“Jaanaan” Qajar Coin Earrings – Handmade Silver with Shell Pearl Drops

These earrings reimagine numismatic history as living art. Handcrafted from sterling silver, each piece features genuine silver coins from the reign of Ahmad Shah Qajar (early 20th century), their intricate inscriptions and lion-and-sun motifs preserved in metal. By framing these coins in a simple yet sturdy bezel, we honor both their beauty and their story.

Suspended beneath each coin is a lustrous shell pearl, chosen for its soft iridescence and organic teardrop form. The pearls sway gently with the wearer’s movement, offering a delicate contrast to the coins’ crisp relief. In Persian culture, pearls symbolize purity and wisdom—qualities that resonate with the coins’ legacy of transition and resilience.

Crafted entirely by hand, these earrings balance precision metalwork with the natural irregularities of shell pearl. The silver is given a subtle patina to accentuate the coins’ details, while the earring posts and hooks are designed for secure, comfortable wear from dawn to dusk. Their modest weight and adjustable length make them ideal for everything from daily use to weddings, date nights, and cultural gatherings.

With every glance, the Qajar Coin Earrings invite conversation—about history, craft, and the timeless interplay between past and present. They are more than accessories; they are wearable heirlooms, linking wearer and era through metal, pearl, and story.
