This is an exquisitely crafted and finely detailed historical coin pendant. Even looked at it under a 30X jewelers loop and the finished work is flawless. Shipment and delivery (USPS) was also extremely fast. Ordered the pendant on Monday and it arrived on Thursday. This was my first order with Gallery Byzantium and I am truly impressed with the quality of their work. Highest recommendation. Will certainly be back to order from them again.
