There is a saying in Bellingham...."the sun always comes out on July 5th." Nothing reminds me more of summer than treasure hunting on the beach. While I usually found junk, my dream was to find golden coins....like this one.

This pendant is composed of an authentic Byzantine gold coin featuring the ruler Phocas dating to 602-610 A.D. and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Set in an 18KT yellow gold bezel with a large ribbed bail crowned with a bezel set cabochon sapphire, this pendant hangs on a chunky Paloma link chain (hollow to keep the weight and cost down).

AAARRRRGH, me matey....what a treasure!
