Pendant Care

Peregrine Pendants uses authentic coins that consist of various combinations of metals (such as alloys of silver, gold, bronze). A coin’s reaction to its environment will depend on it’s exact composition. A gold coin, for example, will be much more resistant to change than a bronze coin. A silver denarius from the Roman Empire could be resistant if it was struck during the first century AD, because it will have a very high silver content (around 90%). After that time, however, the silver content dropped significantly and these coins are more easily influenced by external elements. Most importantly, bronze coins that have attained a patina (green, red, brown) will change to a darker color even when exposed to very little amount of moisture. 

Keeping in mind the wide variety in coin compositions in our collection, we recommend that you please follow the general guidelines for any coin pendant bought from us.
