The Stoic

An original Marcus Aurelius silver denarius, suspended within 750 gold and lapis lazuli

At the heart of The Stoic sits an original silver denarius struck during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, one of Rome's most revered emperors and philosophers. Framed by lapis lazuli, diamonds and 750 gold, the coin remains untouched, preserving both its history and its character.

It is a piece that celebrates the enduring value of wisdom, arguably Aurelius’s most precious legacy.

Please note: the pendant is pictured without its chain, which is currently being handcrafted to complete the piece.
