Replacing a pair of earrings

January 25, 2018 5:53 PM

I lost one of a pair of earrings. They weren't valuable, but I had them for a long time, and I was very fond of them. They are replicas of a particular Roman coin, shown on the left of this page. Do you know of a way I can look to replace them?

Here is the one I have, heads and tails. The black bead is plastic, AFAIK.

Bonus question: this coin doesn't have any weird countercultural significance that I'm unaware of, does it? Like the way that Sparta became a thing of alt-righters?

Do you happen to remember where you got them? Asking because I’m wondering if that particular coin was associated with a location or site, which could then

Response by poster: I don’t quite. I think I got them somewhere ordinary; I tend to remember it if I buy something from an interesting shop.

Lots of sellers on Etsy will do custom orders. I’ve had really good luck with that, though I don’t have a particular shop to recommend for jewelry.

Best answer: Roman coin earrings

An actual museum's store might offer them in gold tone.
