If you're looking for silver jewelry, you'll appreciate the detailed handwork and distinctive pendant designs that range from Coptic crosses to the Star of David. These high quality silver pendants are crafted from melted Maria Theresa thalers (dollars).
The Austrian Maria Theresa thaler served as a trade dollar worldwide for over 200 years. Initially minted in 1782, this coin has been used in many countries such as Ethiopia, Djibouti, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, Niger, and Chad, and is still used today in a few remote places.
Ethiopian Coptic Crosses are specific to regions and churches of Ethiopia, and traditionally would let people know what area a person was from.
